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
