This was a song I wrote too many years ago 
More than I’d like to know 
Or want you to remember 
Born in time to see the sixties die 
Born too late to know what was so great 
Or remember 
The river ran round on the other side 
Where it can never come back 
Are you having a wonderful life? 

I was the song I wrote before I thought to sing 
Some of them thought there were other things I should do here 
And you missed the rain until it started up 
Standing outside with a paper cup in December 
The river ran round on the other side 
But it can never run back 
Are you having a wonderful life? 

The sound of wind rushing in the trees 
Singing drunk on a trampoline in December 
The river can run round the other side 
But it can never run back 
Are you having a wonderful life?
