Seems the songs I'm singing now
They're all about the sea and sky
It seems the scenes I see these days
They're city streets, I can't say why
Looks as though the life I chose
Is different from my dreams
I'm going home to younger days
When things were as they seemed
Anyone who's anyone
They're nowadays getting kinda fat
It's been a long, long time since I
Since I've seen that lean and hungry look
The drummer smiles a small smile
He used to laugh a laugh
It seems to him he heard he won
He's feeling like he lost
I'm told the leaves are turning now
I hear that Jesus died
No matter how I plan these years
There's no way out alive
I'm going down to town today
To say my last farewell
I'm coming home to stay this time
Living by the well
