Lyrics

[Intro - Fingerpicked acoustic guitar, sparse]

[Verse 1 - Male Vocal, Baritone, Soft]
We crossed the singularity and home looked just the same
The Cosmic City lit the dock and someone called my name
But the bartender we used to know
Had been replaced two years ago
And nobody remembers why we came

[Verse 2]
The wizard's cube is dead weight in his pack
The mana that could move a star ain't ever coming back
He shoved it in the engine when the pull was getting strong
And bought us all the time it took to sing this song

[Chorus - Restrained]
Three years gone
While we were holding on
Three years gone
While we were sailing on
The world did not stand still for what we did
The world just kept on turning while we hid
Inside the dark we conquered, three years gone

[Verse 3]
A child we used to know is taller than the bar
A friend we used to write to moved on someplace far
The letters that came back unread
Said the things we never said
And somewhere, Roghan's holding up a star

[Chorus - Slightly fuller]
Three years gone
While we were holding on
Three years gone
While we were sailing on
The world did not stand still for what we did
The world just kept on turning while we hid
Inside the dark we conquered, three years gone

[Bridge - Quieter, just voice and guitar]
We saved a thousand worlds we'll never see
We paid in years that don't belong to me
The party's over, but the party lived
Because of what we gave and what we did

[Final Chorus - Quiet, intimate]
Three years gone
While we were holding on
Three years gone
While we were sailing on
We came back later than we meant to come
We came back fewer than we left as one
But we came back
Three years gone

[Outro - Pedal steel, slow fade, single guitar note holds]
