Up in the clouds is where I live
Down in the ground is where I'll end up
For half a century, till the water
Washes me away
Every morning, it's the same
Coffee and memories fill my cup
Hope I drink 'em down on this merry-go-round
That spins me through the days
And I've been thinking that I should learn
How to do something new with my time
Dig my hands in the dirt, build something that works
Get all my loose ends tied
Open my window, birds still sing
I wanna learn all of their songs
Sometime this century till the water
Washes us away
And I've been thinking that I should learn
How to do something new with my time
Dig my hands in the dirt, build something that works
Get all my loose ends tied
Open my window, birds still sing
I'm gonna learn all of their songs
Sometime this century till the water
Washes us away
