It's been a little while, and I'm feelin' a touch lazy
The cork that's in my wine lay low to stop the bottle's breathing
There's a little darkness in the stories I'd tell
Just a little booze to help forget the news and shun the pain I'd felt
But here in this wide open river, Death knell
And brought me down
Vines wrapped 'round the rind of this ancient weeping willow
I'm lulled by the lines, plowed patient by horse for the furrow
There's a lotta love that left me long ago
Just a mound of memories to try and please my forgotten self
And in that corner I'd lay, figurin' I'd hear the bells all a-ringin', and
Live to see a better day, go your own way
Wait 'til you could seize the day, my babe
Something's to kill me yet
Throw down your chips let's see what's still to happen yet
Breathe ever so slight
And I might make it home tonight
