Untitled Waltz

(album: Closing In On The Fire - 1998)

Well I've got an old friend, he's wilder than you are
I don't understand how he stays on his feet
Just when you're thinking he's gonna go too far
He pulls it all in and he don't miss a beat

He's walked beside me, he's never denied me
If hee had to hide me then by God he would
One thing he taught that I carry inside me
We all got where we are as fast as we could

[CHORUS:]
Saints are just sinners who never quit trying
Losers are winners who pick their own day
And we're all just beginners when it comes time for dying
But rest your mind easy 'cause you'll die anyway

Well I heard of this poet, come hell or high water
Wrote a new poem a day every day of the week
I asked what if some days don't work like they oughta
He said I lower my standards and I get me some sleep

[CHORUS]

So you judges and juries and wild vigilantes
If you got my number, my number's been changed
Me and my woman gonna lay around this shanty
Keep making love 'til that's all that remains

[CHORUS]

Rest your mind easy 'cause you'll die...anyway
