You fell down of course

and then you got up of course

and you started over

forgot my name of course

then you started to remember

pretty tough to think about

the beginning of december

pretty tough to think about

You're looking down again

and then you look me over

we're laying down again

on a blanket in the clover

the same boy you've always known

well I guess I haven't grown

the same boy you've always known

Think of what the past did

it could 've lasted

so put it in your basket

I hope you know a strong man

who can lend you a hand

lowering my casket

I thought this is just today

and soon you'd been returning

the coldest blue ocean water

cannot stop my heart and mind

from burning

everyone who's in the know says

that's exactly how it goes

and if there's anything good about me

I'm the only one who knows
