lyrics

I’ve had the pleasure of many long years
And the pain of much shorter days
I’d tell you about some after one or two beers
But some I would rather not say
Harvest memories while they are here
‘Cause they’re all gonna rot away
That bucket’s got a hole in it
If there was gold then time has stolen it
That perfect thought – I was just holding it
But it’s slipping fast away
That bucket’s leaking quite a lot
Forgetting things that I forgot
Remember things that I could not
‘Cause it never was that way.
Remember the time back in ‘89
The night we wrote our names on that wall?
Just me and you and, well, was it Drew
And a couple girls I don’t recall
(maybe my wife?)
If I were a writer and you read my memoir
Would you be delighted or would you be bored?
But if you dread there’d be scandals aplenty
The book, like my head, like all that I’ve said
Is perfectly empty
