“These Are the Nights” (verse 1) Boy-see sunrise on the first of our days Ellen found this old house with the carved wood and grace Paul, Paul, and Tom tried that pistachio coffee at Moon Baby Café Said it’s the best damn thing to start a getaway (verse 2) The red feather shimmered, we met Reed at the bar She poured kindness and whiskey like she’d known who we are Ellen dove in the river, said “58 feels fine!” We laughed and we toasted to the ones still in time (chorus) These are the nights that keep us alive The laughter, the love, the spark in our eyes Thirty-one years and the road’s still clear We hold each other close — and we’re still here (verse 3) Tom and Jill with their stories, they never grow old Jennifer’s laugh is the warmth in the cold We’re hiking the hills, the sun’s painting gold In a city of strangers all friendly and bold (bridge) Oh, Dave and Rose, we saved you two chairs Your names on the glasses, your hearts in the air The years keep on rolling, the circle’s still tight You’re here in the stories we tell every night (chorus) These are the nights that keep us alive The laughter, the love, the spark in our eyes Thirty-one years and the road’s still clear We hold each other close — and we’re still here (outro) Boise lights fade, but the glow stays near Thirty-one years… and we’re still here
