lyrics

When you had a jaw
You drank and smoked too much
When you had a jaw
We played Chess for a month
You won five games to four
You passed out on the floor
When you had a jaw

Saw Halley's Comet streaking by
Saw Perseids light up the sky
With telescopes or on our backs
The universe was at our grasp
Singing Amazing Grace at dawn
Teaching me right, teaching me wrong
You sure did have a way with song
Way back when you had a jaw

When you had a jaw
We slept under the stars
When you had a jaw
You raised me at the bars
Got real good at pool
Turned out a lot like you
When you had a jaw

Checkmate in seven moves or less
Warp zones and Contra codes are pests
Sinking the eight ball on the break
Skipping the journey to our fate
Bring back Amazing Grace at dawn
Teaching me right, teaching me wrong
Bring back the journey and the song
We sang when you had a jaw

I struggle to remember your face
When you're right in front of me
I struggle to remember the ways
You aggravated me
I struggle with how I must confess
I miss your cigarettes

For you, the stars are shining bright
