Still No. 2

Still though you took my car

Still I know you won't get far

You'll be sitting still

Still when a mile has passed

Still you'll run out of gas

You'll be sitting still

I've lost count of the hours and I've lost track of the time

And you know why darling I lost my watch

In fact I lost a lot of things when you went away

What are you gonna do with all my junk

But still I cling to the mem'ry of when we used to go together

Why I must have gone with you for

Ain't that somethin' I can't even remember what I went with you for

But I do remember the nights when we'd stroll hand in hand

And I'd look up at the sky and recite your favorite poem

Starkle starkle little twink oh yeah that reminds me

I've been readin' so much about the evils of drinking

That I've decided to give it up so I quit reading

Now I don't drink anything stronger than pop

Of course Pop will drink just about anything

Still I wish I had a still

And then every day

I'd run my still

This flame in my heart is like an eternal fire

It's the worst case of heartburn I've ever had

And I haven't been able to put out not one little flicker

Not even with all this beer I mean tears

My friends think that I'm crazy and maybe I am

But I'll carry this torch just as long as I can

But you know that one of these days it's gonna get awful short

And if I don't drop it well someday you may just come home

And find that I've made an ash of myself

Still though I tote this torch

Still it's beginning to scorch

I can't hold still

Ooh that smarts ouch
