lyrics

I was wrong to think that you
Wanna go back to the fire
Everybody knows that you are something sweet
And the taste on my tongue is only mine to know

Through it all we lost a few
Steps in the stride of love
Everybody knows that you are the finest prize
And I'll pour myself another
As the sun hangs down

What is any of this worth when we die?
The simple pleasures won't fit into a grave
I guess I look to you to know that I'm alive
It's only living after all, isn't it babe?

A young man's dreams won't occupy
The hours of the day anymore
Everybody knows that you're wiser than me
You won't waste another moment
Worrying 'bout the past

I back up to the fire in the cold world
Memories serve to keep me warm
Everybody knows that you're a jewel to my eye
All the riches in the world
Will never take your place

What is any of this worth when we die?
The simple pleasures won't fit into a grave
I guess I look to you to know that I'm alive
It's only living after all, isn't it babe?
