Chorus:
Never forget the first time
Never forget the first time
I drank elderberry wine
Elderberry wine for the last time

Sailing through the woods
A snowy night
Frozen breath
A sea of white
Ancient ship moored in the moonlight
Ancient ship moored in the moonlight

Two silver eyes
Shining bright
Sliver of time
Caught in my headlight
Please let him run, run away
Please let him run, run away

Music loves good company
Like a breath, it's only temporary
Like a breath
Between life and death is a line
So thin

Such a rush
Middle of nowhere
Is such a rush

Barely made it to
The gig on time
Help ya load in
And everything is fine

Couldn't see the mountain
For the climb
So high

Church's key was stolen from us
Brutal system gave no justice
No justice

How can we forgive or forget?
No way

Chorus
