When the day is growing longer And your patience growing short And your appetite is stronger For the fights you never fought When you just can't see the right road For the reasons to be wrong There has to be a million reasons Why you'd be better off Singing my song Haven't we had a few good years Now haven't we And haven't we had our laughs along the way Oh and didn't we run In the morning sun When the morning sun was a crimson rose And the day was a friendly hand That closed around us So you never made your fortune And you never found your fame And a very small proportion Of the good things ever came And you say you've had that time or two When life has done you wrong But I tell you quite sincerely You'd be better off Singing my song Haven't we had a few good seasons haven't we And haven't we had our laughs along the way Oh and didn't we ride On the evening tide When the rising moon was a silver bird And the night was a tender song we heard around us Yes it hasn't been so bad, now has it Oh and didn't we run In the morning sun When the morning sun was a crimson rose And the day was a friendly hand That closed around us Oh and didn't we ride On the evening tide When the rising moon was a silver bird And the night was a tender song we heard around us
