"We Were Here" lyrics

In a cave in Lascaux
Before Lascaux was called Lascaux
Scribbled on the cold cave wall
"We were in love"
Shades of hematite
Manganese oxide
Memories lost forever
Captured in a drop of amber

We were here at the same time
And what a time to be alive
We were here at the same time
It was a time to be alive

In a men's room stall
Scribbled on the bathroom wall
For a good time call
Imogen and Carl
Longtime listener, first time call
A trucker with a southern drawl
Breathing hard over the line
Said I can't believe that we are

On Earth at the same time
And what a time to be alive
We are here at the same time
What a time to be alive

Carved into an old oak tree
A rugged heart. I + C
You find an old guitar
And you play Bach's Suite No 1 in G
We leave it in the canopy
And over time the guitar's body
Is swallowed up by the tree
Performing the slowest melody
As each string snaps successively
Stretched out over a century
An automated music piece
No music sheet, the title simply reads:

We were here at the same time
It was a time to be alive
We were here at the same time
It was a time to be alive
