Hear you … talking to me, talking to me … like a dissonant chord In a minor key on your buffalo strings …. all hand tuned To the ice cream man and a … symphony Been about, been about 50 years … Even 4 hundred 52 I could've loved you longer could've loved you blue Our friends have all made their own way Some are gone, some are here to stay The boy's all grown we heard from him today And your green eyes are looking at me Yeah your gray eyes are just tryin to see, just tryin to see Hear me… talking to you, talking to you … Another summer come
Like a bucket of rain and the daily news… I got a story Of a couple of lovers who… made it through Pretty little pockets they are full Of every little thing I ever gave to you and I love it Well you gave to me like a giving tree Fruit so sweet I go swingin' free on your branches Look at the time Are you look…. Looking at the season Just about dawn baby soon we'll be leavin' Been about … been about 50 years … Even 4 hundred 52 We go on livin cause we don't know what else to do
