Twin Soles - Ernies Song Lyrics

The sun is sinking, I'm driving out West
I'll follow your trail to where you want to rest
You lived your life like you wanted to be
Kept standing like a great oak tree
Standing like a great oak tree

How many moons till you sleep
How many moons till you sleep

I see you when I was a child
Laughing loud, drinking wild
If there's one thing you always said to me
Child, don't be mild, child, don't be mild

How many moons till you sleep
How many moons till you sleep

Your words are gone now, you mumble love
You're being called from above
You lived the way you wanted to be
Said Take no prisoners, child, just be free
Take no prisoners, just stay free

How many moons till you sleep
How many moons till you sleep

At the end, I held your hand
All I could say was what a great man
I took you up on an airplane high
Said, Come on, Ernie, it's time to fly
Come on Ernie, it's time to fly

How many moons till you sleep
How many moons till you sleep
Lift off now with your rocket fuel
Lift off now, Ern we love you
