What am I to do with the next four minutes with you? 

What am I to do with the next four minutes added to my story with you? 

I’m kind of standing here waiting, playing a D and waiting to go to the fifth 

Something that should sound a little like this 

In these four minutes with you... 


What am I to make of the last 40 years with you? 

Were we in it together or were we just members of some bands we used to be in? 

It all begins in the basement, the quiet guy whose able to play anything 

Now it’s Pollock on strings and I’m in the wings 

In these four minutes with you 


That Monday rehearsal was simply so strange 

A conversation and tour but not a chord was played 

The Vibratone was in pieces 

The strings were all rusted 

You said the bridges were burned, I've heard that is true 

And what can four minutes do? 


What am I to do with the last four minutes with you? 

What am I to do with the last four minutes now that it's down to us two? 

We came here to remember 

We got together to say goodbye to the drummer 

And would up burying your guitar 

In these four minutes with you...
