Such a long time ago A name, a place, a face - someone you should know? But your mind's getting slow And you know as well as me that it's starting to show And you're losing your glow - the sparkle in your eye And the people you know say you reap what you sow You're surprised you're still here But no-one's quite as mystified as I And the edge ever near The land that separates the sea from sky It will all disappear At times the bells beneath the waves will toll When the storms gather near All life you have left in you, holding on by a thread Came from sand that has drifted down long shores Exposing the dead I imagine you home An old timbered place, a space you call your own Down by the shore With a broken dog, as broken as you are Now the tide's getting low The naked sands reveal what lay below And you know that they know All life you have left in you, holding on by a thread Came from sands that have drifted down long shores A gift from the dead All you have that is dear to you, detritus accrued All of this will soon fall into the sea When Ravenspurn's renewed

I wish we could have one more beer To make up for four missing years I wish you had told me your hopes and your fears One and all I wish we could have one more beer For closure and bending of ear If only to know why the trains disappeared from my wall At least I’ll never have to go near that shithole of a town again Where principles some people hold dear still don’t make any sense And now it’s been more than a whole year without any recompense And all because you spent your best years sitting on the fence I wish we could have one more beer You could tell me that same fucking joke I’ll pretend it’s the first time I’ve heard it, again…
