As long as i have a song

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
