The countless eyes dotted in the night sky I speak the language, or several hundred words. A cloudless day, and a thunderous night. Among companions, I'll carry my name.
But the life we lead came gradually. Who keeps the time? A bitter lime, will do us fine To kill the taste.
We'll turn deaf ears on all that we don’t wanna hear But a cause for travel has come again. At this early hour, I'll tell your wife a story She looks outside and doubles over laughing.
Of the souls you loved, and a place you lived Those country houses. And a change of heart tore us apart Oh, what a ride.
Every chance you have All the love and life All the joy and grace Don't be absurd, don't you think it out You know what thinking does To love's shine, and love's light.
Now it's your every word Oh I'm hanging on It feels right these days I saw strange things The lines of old faces Up on the stormy sky, tonight.
Now all the younger kids have gone away to sleep In the days to come, I’ll do the same. At this early hour, I'll tell your wife a story She looks outside and doubles over laughing.
The life we lead came gradually Who keeps the time? Bitter lime, do us fine To kill the taste.
these are the lyrics as per the Japanese CD booklet- some of the words at the head of the lines go unsung or at least severely under-pronounced. I think they add some connective tissue tying the lines together, so I left them in.
Well they say, “Can’t please everyone” But I’m stuck on a winning streak Well today, there’s clarity And tonight, I see tomorrow All at once, the winter’s here All the lochs are frozen over As I look in back of me See a shape beside the walkway
Half of my life, I’ve been watching Half of my life, I’ve been waking up Birds in the sky could warn me There’s no life like the slow life
So for now, I’ll take my time For now, I can’t be bothered But I learned a lot of things And I fudged a lot of numbers
Once again, the winter’s here All the lochs are frozen over So I look in back of me See a shape beside the walkway
Half of my life, I’ve been watching Half of my life, I’ve been waking up Birds in the sky could warn me There’s no life like the slow life
I'd give you all my love... I'd give you all my love... But my heart itself is broken... How many nights must lumber by... I sit alone and I wonder why...
Oh, hazy, lazy days... I could dream of you forever... Under the shade of a juniper tree... I sing a sad song of you and me...
The sky above... The sky above... Is blue as your blood...
Black is the color of your eyelash... Spanish is the language of your tongue... Life rolled us over like a town car... Bruised up and busted to the ground...
The Lord came down and said to me... "Throw off your worries and be at peace..."
The sky above... The sky above... Is blue as your blood... In a hazy, lazy daydream...
There's a girl that you should know She was mine not so long ago Had my number and we fell in love She put me under and I got lost Lost my nerve and I lost my head Just about everything I had Washed out in a windy sea Couldn't see my hand in front of me
Woe is me Woe is me
Hey, do you wanna walk with me By the trees and the factories Hey, do you wanna hop the fence In the sleepy red sunset There's a girl that you should know She was mine not so long ago Had my number and we fell in love She put me under and I got lost
Woe is me Woe is me Woe is me Woe is me
Now the street light bright and pale As we sip our ginger ale I kiss you by the blinking sign Don't get heavy, let's be light
On and on Our merry way On and on Our merry way On and on Our merry way On and on Our merry way
Well they say, “Can’t please everyone” But I’m stuck on a winning streak Well today, there’s clarity And tonight, I see tomorrow All at once, the winter’s here All the lochs are frozen over As I look in back of me See a shape beside the walkway
Half of my life, I’ve been watching Half of my life, I’ve been waking up Birds in the sky could warn me There’s no life like the slow life
So for now, I’ll take my time For now, I can’t be bothered But I learned a lot of things And I fudged a lot of numbers
Once again, the winter’s here All the lochs are frozen over So I look in back of me See a shape beside the walkway
Half of my life, I’ve been watching Half of my life, I’ve been waking up Birds in the sky could warn me There’s no life like the slow life
If I had known the graceful song I should know To slow down all the madness, I would have sung A whispered melody to calm you and keep you close
But I don't know the tune It's a burden on my sorry soul No, I don't have a clue It's a weight upon my empty skull
If I was soundly sleeping, I'd fall into dreams But the night time's stale and restless, it's all wrong for me. The night time's stale and restless, it's all wrong for me.
I don't know the tune It's a burden on my sorry soul No I don't have a clue A weight upon my empty skull.
There's a girl that you should know She was mine not so long ago Had my number and we fell in love She put me under and I got lost Lost my nerve and I lost my head Just about everything I had Washed out in a windy sea Couldn't see my hand in front of me

On and on Our merry way On and on Our merry way On and on Our merry way On and on Our merry way
Throw another dime in me my friend And I'll sing a song I know for thee You don't want me You can tell me I'm the bigger man here Oh it's true You're all prettier now Than the last time But the words aren't coming through And I'm stranded and I'm starry-eyed
Oh why, won't you wash out of me
There's broken glass all around my feet Laid my plans so carelessly What's the story With my old friends Drunk and lonely To a man How I love 'em all As the days slip by And they're all following my lead
Oh why, does the rain fall o'er When I'm stranded and I'm starry-eyed
I'd give you all my love... I'd give you all my love... But my heart itself is broken... How many nights must lumber by... I sit alone and I wonder why...
Oh, hazy, lazy days... I could dream of you forever... Under the shade of a juniper tree... I sing a sad song of you and me...
The sky above... The sky above... Is blue as your blood...
Black is the color of your eyelash... Spanish is the language of your tongue... Life rolled us over like a town car... Bruised up and busted to the ground...
The Lord came down and said to me... "Throw off your worries and be at peace..."
The sky above... The sky above... Is blue as your blood... In a hazy, lazy daydream...
