[Verse 1] November fifth, seventy-five Apache pines, night alive Six men rolling home Walton steps out alone Metal saucer, road-side glow Bluish-green, it let it show Then a beam cut down And tore him from the ground [Pre-Chorus] They swore he fell Then vanished clean No body there No blood to see The truck sped off Then turned back slow The clearing stood Cold and blank below [Chorus] Five days missing Five days gone Five days missing And the story lives on (Travis Walton) (five days missing) [Verse 2] Police came hard Looked at their faces Thought murder first And hidden places The forest searched Every ridge and line But the night kept shut What took that time Then after midnight He called from town A payphone voice All cracked and down [Pre-Chorus] His brother heard That frightened breath He thought just hours Had passed for him Crushed and stunned By what he saw He could not hold The world he knew [Chorus] Five days missing Five days gone Five days missing And the story lives on (Travis Walton) (five days missing) [Bridge] He said he woke In a sterile room Small bald faces In the gloom Then a human shape Led him through And the dark closed in Like a wound Memoir pages, printed proof Fire in the Sky Still no truth That everyone can buy [Final Chorus] Five days missing Five days gone Five days missing And the story lives on (Travis Walton) (five days missing) Five days missing Believe or don’t Five days missing He says, “I know” (Travis Walton) (five days missing)
