The data's in, the science says We grow older and lonelier everyday They took a world of broken hearts And put them right there on a nice neat chart Don't ya let their news Get you high up on those blues And ain't all bad if it's true Because maybe I could walk a bit with you On this long march to solitude Can I walk it with you? You make the darkness seem less black & blue And after long nights of unquiet too Can I wake up with you? You know that's all I'm really trying to do Open up those windows Let your sunbeams pour on though Drinking out of the garbage bin Because our cup runneth over and over again I got a rental a river view And I'd love to share a cup or two The funniest joke is life Just make sure you tell it right We can let that punchline hang And we'll be laughing right on past the bank On this long march to solitude Can I walk it with you? You make the darkness seem less black & blue And after long nights of unquiet too Can I wake up with you? You know that's all I'm really trying to do Open up those windows Let your sunbeams pour on through You're burning off the fog You're burning off the dew I've got some pancakes frying Got some coffee brewing too
