I'm gonna Gclear my Chead,
I'm gonna Gdrink that sun.
GThe saddest Csight my Geyes can see
GIs that Dbig ball of orange sinking Cslyly down the Gtrees.
GSittin in a broken Ccircle while you Grest upon my knee,
This Aperfect moment will soon be Dleaving me.
GSuzanne calls from CBoston, the coffee's Ghot, the corn is high,
And that Dsame sun that warms your heart will Csuck the good earth Gdry.
With Geverything its Copposite enGough to keep you crying,
Or Akeep this old world spinning with a Dtwinkle in its eye.
Get out the Gmap, Get out the Cmap and lay your Gfinger anywhere down.
We'll leave the Gfiguring to thCose we pass on our wD7ay out of town.
Don't drink the Gwater, there Cseems to be something Gailing everyone.
I'm gonna Gclear my hCead, I'm gonna dGrink that sun.
I'm gonna Clove you good and strong while our D7love is good and Gyoung.
GJoni left for South CAfrica a few Gyears ago
And then DBeth took a job all the way Cover on the west Gcoast
And Gme I'm still Ctrying to live half a Glife on the road
Seems I'm Aheavier by the year... And heavier by the Dload.
Why do we Ghurtle ourselves through every Cinch of time and Gspace?
I must Dsay around some corner I can Csense a resting Gplace.
With Gevery lesson Clearned a line upon your Gbeautiful face,
We'll aAmuse ourselves one day with these Dmemories we'll trace
Get out the Gmap, Get out the Cmap and lay your Gfinger anywhere down.
We'll leave the Gfiguring to thCose we pass on our wD7ay out of town.
Don't drink the Gwater, there Cseems to be something Gailing everyone.
I'm gonna Gclear my hCead, I'm gonna Gdrink that sun.
I'm gonna Clove you good and strong while our D7love is good and Gyoung.
I'm gonna Gclear my hCead, I'm gonna dGrink that sun.
I'm gonna Clove you good and strong while our D7love is good and Gyoung.

Why do we hurtle ourselves through every inch of time and space?
