Artist: David Bowick
Song: There There
Part of the song: whole song
[Intro]
[Verse]
Call it in the air, itâs it heads or is it tails?
Add it to the list of every time that I have failed while
Clamouring for this and that, the color of the winning hat
What will come to mind when you give St. Pete a chat
Standing by those pearly gates, the ones you love and ones you hate
All stand hand in hand and patiently they wait
But Pete you know Iâve thought it through,
thereâs so much that Iâve yet to do
Thatâs the rub my son, itâs not really up to you
[Chorus]
Hey there friend, there there friend
Do you weep for yourself?
Hey there friend, there there friend,
Could you weep for me?
[Verse]
Iâve been a busy gettinâ dizzy bee, Iâll slow down in infinity
I used to say, with grinning teeth
Now that Iâm here I wish I stayed longer in each passing day
Cozied up to every one and given each a name
The ones I can recall are nice, but what a debt to bet on dice
How can we ever know which ones define our life
Did you do the best you could, would the bad outweigh the good?
Thatâs all we really ask, and it s all we really should
[Chorus]
Hey there friend, there there friend
Do you weep for yourself?
Hey there friend, there there friend,
Could you weep for me?
[Verse]
What about the ones still there, how long âtil they stop to care
For me, like a broken chair
Like anything, well who can tell, but how long should they really dwell
on you, before theyâre well
They have all their own devices, ring âem up to see their prices
Theyâll be here soon enough, now doesnât that sound nice
Thatâs what it means to be alive, youâre only born so you can die
Hello, then goodbye
[Chorus]
Hey there friend, there there friend
Do you weep for yourself?
Hey there friend, there there friend,
Could you weep for me?
[Outro]
Thatâs what it means to be alive, youâre only born so you can die
Hello, then goodbye
