Lyrics
A Long Time Dead. © Charles Harter, 2006
Six feet under - pushing up a daisy
Goodness me! R.I.P.
I thought I knew him well
(you're a long time dead) It's not something you know
(you're a long time dead) It's not something you can plan for
(you're a long time dead) It's not something you think about
(you're a long time dead)
Such a worker! ev'ry night now
Making his money- made it look easy
But I wonder - if he knew now
What he didn't know then
(you're a long time dead) and I always looked up to him
(you're a long time dead) He was ruthless and knew it all
(you're a long time dead) He let no-one get in the way
(you're a long time dead)
And I have to say- I miss him-
But the lesson I've learnt quite well
All that matters is now!
Get what you can - give what you've got
Work a little - laugh a lot
Get what you can - give what you've got
Work a little - laugh a lot
Get what you can - give what you've got
Work a little - laugh a lot
