Secunindo Maldonado waited on the pier
As the last train left the dock
The first boat disappeared
Over the horizon it seemed the boat was sinking
But that’s the curve of our world
The further away you get from someone
They seem to sink into the earth
Secunindo Maldonado handed me a beer
Over modest conversation on how old friends disappear
It’s funny how this world works
We all seem to go quick
I’ve been working just as hard
To get that same old fix
All these years, coming back to you
Secunindo Maldonado counted down the years
As his last friend passed away
He forgot his greatest fears
Over the horizon the boat was sinking
That’s the curve of our world
It’s funny how
The further away you get from someone
They seem to sink into the earth
Secunindo Maldonado somehow disappeared
And the last boat left the dock
And the last train disappeared
It seemed that hope was sinking
But that’s the way of our world
Trying to get close to someone
As they sink into the earth
