The Rich Life Of A Poor Man

(album: Great Heights & Nosedives - 2017)

If you've got the time, I've got a story to tell
Of how I lost my money in a wishing well
And I know it's all just a distant memory
But I hope that you'll remember me

I wanted out through the hard times
Felt every doubt more than one time
And I'll sit it out, watch the world pass from the sidelines
Hoping I'm not just a punchline in a joke I didn't get

But I would never let it go down that way
'Cause at the end of the day

If you've got the time, I've got a story to tell
Of how I lost my money in a wishing well
And I know it's all just a distant memory
But I hope that you'll remember me
Summertime brought a falling feeling
Loose change spent on hopeless dreaming
I know it's a distant memory
But I hope that you'll remember me

I've broken down ten miles away
I've seen the sun, I've burnt my face
It's not that clever
I'm throwing coins into the blue
Wishful thinking coming true
So look around, take in the view
It's getting better

Because I never let it go down that way
And at the end of the day

If you've got the time, I've got a story to tell
Of how I lost my money in a wishing well
And I know it's all just a distant memory
But I hope that you'll remember me
Summertime brought a falling feeling
Loose change spent on hopeless dreaming
I know it's a distant memory
But I hope that you'll remember me

I wanted out, 'cause I saw disaster
I watched it break when it bent
I wanted out, 'cause I saw disaster
I watched it break when it bent
It's all a means to an end
A means to an end

If you've got the time, I've got a story to tell
Of how I lost my money in a wishing well
And I know it's all just a distant memory
But I hope that you'll remember me
Summertime brought a falling feeling
Loose change spent on hopeless dreaming
I know it's a distant memory
I hope that you'll remember me

Summertime brought a falling feeling
You'll remember me
Summertime brought a falling feeling
But I hope that you'll remember me
