capo 1
You re a ship that s whippin fast
around the world, across the sea
I m a buoy that s just bobbin here
I ve got no place to be
When God made you, he used love
Perfection s his specialty
But he had some spare parts lying around
And he was bored so he made me
But we have some common ground
and we tread upon it well
We pick a place to meet each other
and fall under the spell
I ll go, You ll go
We ll both have our issues and our doubts
But we ll try-y-y-y we try-y-y-y
And so our youth comes rushing back
Our days start flying past
We ll find our sanctum lying on
our backs deep in the grass
We ll eat our weight in blueberries
and get happier every day
Like snow flakes falling on our tongues
Our problems melt away
Summer time s a state of mind
we help each other reach
we weld our hands together as we
barrel down the beach
I ll jump, you ll jump
We ll jump into that endless blue expanse
And we ll fly-y-y-y we ll fly-y-y-y
We have tickets to the theater
of warm water and salt but
We ll pass on the premiere
it interferes with plans we ve got
There s no cut that we can t heal
And there s no fissure we can t mend
like a phoenix in a hot air
balloon we ll rise again
The road of life is rocky
and we travel it with grace
We are holy we are animate
and we stare misfortune in the face
I ll laugh, you ll laugh
we laugh for sixty or so more years
Then we die-e-e-e we die-e-e-e
we die and that s ok
