From the recording Simple As

Lyrics

Don’t let us get Sick Warren Zevon

Chorus
Don’t let us get sick, don’t let us get old
Don’t let us get stupid, all right?
Just make us brave, and make us play nice
And let us be together tonight

The sky was on fire when I walked to the mill
To take up the slack in the line
I thought of my friends, and the trouble they’ve had
To keep me from thinking of mine

CHORUS repeat

The moon has a face, and it smiles on the lake
And causes the ripples in time
I’m lucky to be here, with someone I like
Who maketh my spirit to shine

CHORUS repeat

Make us be brave, make us play nice
And let us be together tonight
