wintersleep - free pour lyrics

on the shy side of forty
in the land of free pour
n-body’s writing, there’s n-body left
order a beer, let’s have a drink to my death
is there n-body else coming?
have you got any friends?
pulled up a seat and took off my hat
took a drink and sucked another one back
ordered again and said

baby, i’m on the shy of forty
still writing riffs like n-body’s business
except in my case it most certainly is
i’m a professional riff writer
slinger of pure metaphor
i named my band and couple of stands i commanded
even tm’d on a gaggle of tours
then she laughed, i said
maybe you have no reason to know me
i don’t care, i ain’t keeping score
n-body’s faith here you need to restore
i’m on the shy side of forty

i’m on the shy side of forty
is that a reason to love me?
i like your jacket, you hardly tip
i like your smile, but i have to admit
i have never heard your body of music of before
i act surprised, turned on spotify, it isn’t there
some copyright territorial rift
will you just take me at my word?
nothing less nothing more
out of my mind, i’m down on the floor
all out of time but i’m begging for more
i’m on the shy side of forty
is that a reason to love me?

i had a dream of my old school high school
there was n-body left
just that old janitor russel avery smith
my old girl, my first love, my first kiss
i caught them f-cking in bas-m-nt
the type of place it would happen
the kind of thing at this type of event
you’d never believe but kind of always suspect

but it was kind of romantic
it had its own inner logic
they asked me why, and how i got in
i could not emit the sound to tell them
it was our twenty year reunion
i got the email, i went
russel was kind, he was good to his kids
maybe i always underestimated
everybody else around me
we gotta make our own beauty
time and time we have to find it again
when we die, do we start over again?
back at the shy side of forty
at the shy side of forty

[outro]
time and time we have to find it again
at the shy side of forty
when we die, do we start over again?
at the shy side of forty
time and time we have to find it again
when we die, do we start over again?
back at the shy side of forty
at the shy side of forty
