lyrics

Weren't we the profligate pretenders
From some world unknowable
Weren't we the comrades and invaders
Some two-bit players in the show

Weren't we the everyday beginners
We would wander we would tramp
Impossibility believers
Turning from the cold and damp

PRE-CHORUS

And should we greet you
And play you a tune
Weave you a rune
And if there was a bottle
We'd have another song

CHORUS

And there, there in the light and the gladness
We'd stay, stay for awhile
A time when a small show of a kindness
Would bring, bring us a smile

If we've been cheated and were blinded
It makes no nevermind at all
It was there only to remind us
Of the rising and the fall

PRE-CHORUS & CHORUS

If we've been cheated and were blinded
It makes no nevermind at all
It was there only to remind us
Of the rising and the fall
