Walk into the bar
And shake off my coat
Pull up a chair
And light up a smoke
Where did all those summers go?
Guess I’ll never know
So barkeep let’s give it a go
Pour me a dream
And play me a tune
And I’ll get along
Just as long
As I have a song
Sit by the church
And hear children sing
I like to pretend they’re
Singing for me
Memories of melodies
And words that made me cry
They have all abandoned me
Sit back and watch me die
Pour me a dream
And play me a tune
And I’ll get along
Just as long
As I have a song
The river is wide
And the ocean’s so deep
The harder I try
The faster I sink into the rich of the dark
The cheapest of tricks
I’ve lost the fire
Still I’m sharpening my wick
But it’s just smoke
And that’s all
So pour me a tune
As blue as the Moon
And I’ll get along
Just as long
As I have a song
I’ll hum along
And that is how I’ll
Get along
