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
