its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Numb and broken, here I stand alone,
Wondering what were the last words I said to you.
Hoping, praying that I'll find a way to turn back time.
Can I turn back time?
What would I give to behold the smile, the face of love.
You never left me. The rising sun will always speak your name.
Numb and broken, here I stand alone,
Wondering what were the last words I said to you.
It won't be long. We'll meet again.
What would I give to behold the smile, the face of love.
You never left me. The rising sun will always speak your name.
It won't be long, we'll meet again.
Your memory is never passing.
It won't be long, we'll meet again.
My love for you is everlasting.
I mourn for those who never knew you.
I mourn for those who never knew you.
It won't be long, we'll meet again.
Your memory is never passing.
It won't be long, we'll meet again.
My love for you is everlasting.
It won't be long, we'll meet again.
It won't be long, we'll meet again.
It won't be long, we'll meet again.
It won't be long, we'll meet again.
Wondering what were the last words I said to you.
Hoping, praying that I'll find a way to turn back time.

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
god dammit, i love this song so much, i repeat it sometimes just because it's so awesome, I could imagine this being sang at someones funeral too :x
