about

In William Maxwell's So Long, See You Tomorrow, two boys find solace as their families unravel by exploring a half-built house together. Years later, one of them looks back on the tragedies that defined both their lives, searching for wisdom among the ghosts.

lyrics

Walk on a high wire over the snow
what does it matter? Death comes for us all.
radio stations call out our names
fifty years later I don't know what to say

So long, so long, I'll see you tomorrow
so long, so long, so long

Your father waited all through the night
to see the man who'd taken his whole life
my mother waits in a house that's not there
before I can knock, it vanishes in air

Love is a dog who waits by the road
you curse and you starve her, but she won't go home
Life is a house with hundreds of rooms
but if you leave one, you can't ever return
