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 Ill never know

So barkeep lets give it a go

Pour me a dream

And play me a tune

And Ill get along

Just as long

As I have a song

Sit by the church

And hear children sing

I like to pretend theyre
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 Ill get along

Just as long

As I have a song

The river is wide
And the oceans so deep

The harder I try

The faster I sink into the rich of the dark
The cheapest of tricks

Ive lost the fire

Still Im sharpening my wick

But its just Smoke

And thats all

So pour me a tune

As blue as the moon

And Ill get along

Just as long

As I have a song

Ill hum along

And that is how Ill

Get along
