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
