End Of The Party
Well it’s getting so late, I mentioned two laws But I hate to get out of my wedding clothes I never got married and I never will But I liked boo too and drink my fill Hear the bride’s uncle stories, the locals buy his jokes I sit on the lawn with the champagne and smokes I went to London to visit the grave Of an old cork who was crazy and red Big Ben was tall, the sky was so grey I went to Paris to just get away from all My ancestors and dollars that buy I liked eating pies, I stayed there in quiet Well I read the Bible ‘cause I like the sound That kind of prose no longer around It’s all bits and bytes now and little it’s wise Most people don’t talk, they just advertise The preacher said ready is all humanity Do you love yourself baby with your memory? I once had a sweetheart but now I have none Love is a house that is never quite done People get restless and they think they should move But there’s nowhere to go and there’s nothing to prove So hold my hand on the old carousel Letras de cancionesUp in the hill and back down the hill I feel it in my belly, if bread and wine The city in the background, watch the sun shine You are still flirting, that’s all I had on me But I ain’t got nothing I can give you for free But growling and molding in my old briefcase Hold still while I paint a big smile on your face Fire rivers float to the dirty old sea If there’s no room for you, there’s no room for me All the tulips are growing, all yellow and red I need to grow some new thoughts in my head I never did know what it all is about But when I go fishing it ain’t for the trout You just get more lovely, the older you get Your eyes may be dry but your mouth is still wet I was a fool for you, the form to you too I’ll always love you and you know that that’s true When it comes to loving I am all forms If you don’t want my peaches then how ‘bout my plums? There’s been a great party and I hate to go But the moon says goodbye and the sun says hello I’d like an old Buick and one more guitar The load slot have mospen, I saw from afar And if I had Matilda, say goodbye to Jim I’ve been wondering whatever happened to him From Letras Mania
