Good Night & Make Mends Lyrics
“Leave a beer on the hospital steps with a lipstick kiss goodnight
Watch for me down Cambridge Street smashing out the lights.”
Your words came steady and your words came quick
Your talk was heavy as we walked the bricks
Of this town that you never would admit you loved -
A whole wide world it was keeping you from
Goodnight, make mends
We’ll see where this one ends
I’ll meet you at the bottom of the road
Goodnight, sweet friend
Until we meet again
I’ll keep you in my brokenhearted soul
Market Street’s never gonna be the same
Washington lost its rhyme
It’s gonna be quiet ‘round Union Square
With her withering neon signs
And your “desolate kingdom of sprawling bricks”
Came crashing to the ground
We strode like kings through the Allston snow
When the bars had kicked us out
Watch for me down Cambridge Street smashing out the lights.”
Your words came steady and your words came quick
Your talk was heavy as we walked the bricks
Of this town that you never would admit you loved -
A whole wide world it was keeping you from
We’ll see where this one ends
I’ll meet you at the bottom of the road
Goodnight, sweet friend
Until we meet again
I’ll keep you in my brokenhearted soul
Washington lost its rhyme
It’s gonna be quiet ‘round Union Square
With her withering neon signs
And your “desolate kingdom of sprawling bricks”
Came crashing to the ground
We strode like kings through the Allston snow
When the bars had kicked us out

A song saying farewell. To what depends on how you look at it. On one level, it's about how Covid-19 destroyed their local scene. Another level could say the local scene was destroyed by other methods. A third would be that the scene was not destroyed, but the parting of someone from it is going to leave a large vacuum in the scene.
