8:05 Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Antonlee 

Cover art for 8:05 lyrics by Moby Grape

One of the most poignant and beautiful heartbreak songs of all time. The singer is begging their lover to stay, but knows they are not going to. 8:05 could be the time or could be a train departure time; the song works either way. The melody and chords add to the lonely feeling of the lyrics. Guitarist Jerry Miller wrote this tune.
