Dues & Respects
Closed your eyes and the rain came down
On Lonely Street
And you gave away your wedding gown
To charity
You paid your dues and respects
Had no clue what to expect from life
Underneath the mistletoe
A kiss of life
I watched you as you rowed the boat
To the other side
The lake was crystal clear
As you took the mystery away
Oh if I could find a way
To make the days count in this lifetime
I sure could throw it all away
And start again today
But I could be wrong
Staying up days and nights in a row
Somewhere deep inside I know
You wouldn't have it any other way
Working in a coppermine
And the corridors collapsed
And I wonder if we realized
There was little oxygen
You paid your dues and respects
But you had no clue what to expect from life
Falling through an open sky
Slowly going down
And we're trying oh so hard to fly
As we hit the ground
The lake was crystal clear
As you took the mystery away
Oh if I could find a way
To make the days count in this lifetime
I sure could throw it all away
And start again today
But I could be wrong
Staying up days and nights in a row
Somewhere deep inside I know
You wouldn't have it any other way
Drenched to the bone
A drop of Sunkist on your lips
But your kisses tasted like stones
And I clenched but let go
The fingers of the fist
We wave goodbye with
Like we said hello
I paid my dues and respects
Had no clue what to expect from life
Oh if I could find a way
To make the days count in this lifetime
I sure could throw it all away
And start again today
But I could be wrong
Staying up days and nights in a row
Somewhere deep inside I know
You wouldn't have it any other way
On Lonely Street
And you gave away your wedding gown
To charity
You paid your dues and respects
Had no clue what to expect from life
Underneath the mistletoe
A kiss of life
I watched you as you rowed the boat
To the other side
The lake was crystal clear
As you took the mystery away
Oh if I could find a way
To make the days count in this lifetime
I sure could throw it all away
And start again today
But I could be wrong
Staying up days and nights in a row
Somewhere deep inside I know
You wouldn't have it any other way
Working in a coppermine
And the corridors collapsed
And I wonder if we realized
There was little oxygen
You paid your dues and respects
But you had no clue what to expect from life
Falling through an open sky
Slowly going down
And we're trying oh so hard to fly
As we hit the ground
The lake was crystal clear
As you took the mystery away
Oh if I could find a way
To make the days count in this lifetime
I sure could throw it all away
And start again today
But I could be wrong
Staying up days and nights in a row
Somewhere deep inside I know
You wouldn't have it any other way
Drenched to the bone
A drop of Sunkist on your lips
But your kisses tasted like stones
And I clenched but let go
The fingers of the fist
We wave goodbye with
Like we said hello
I paid my dues and respects
Had no clue what to expect from life
Oh if I could find a way
To make the days count in this lifetime
I sure could throw it all away
And start again today
But I could be wrong
Staying up days and nights in a row
Somewhere deep inside I know
You wouldn't have it any other way
