So we're leaving

Friends of mine, brothers and sisters

Hoping that in times of trouble

And that we can lean a bit more

But lately, I swear, nightmare dreams

Are welling in me

And this ship is troubled

All because this ship we're on is sinking...



Hey, my love, I came to you with best intentions

You laid down and gave to me just what I'm seeking

Oh say, my love, you drive me to distraction



Oh, my love, do you believe that we might last a thousand years

Or more if not for this,

Our flesh and blood

It ties you and me right up

Tie me... celebrate...



Celebrate we will

'Cause life is short but sweet for certain

Hey, we climb on two by two

To be sure these days continue

Things we cannot change



Oh, my love, you came to me like wine comes to this mouth

Grown tired of water all the time

You quench my heart and, love, you quench my mind

Let's celebrate



Celebrate we will

'Cause life is short but

Sweet for certain

Hey, we climb on two by two

To be sure these days continue

Things we can...

Right up, today

Celebrate we will

Oh, 'cause life is short but

Sweet for certain

We climb on two by two, to be sure

That all these days continue

Things we cannot change



Hey, my love, I came to you

With best intentions

You, you laid down and gave to me

Just what I'm seeking

Oh say, come on, let's celebrate with me



Celebrate we will

Oh, 'cause life is short

But sweet for certain

We climb on two by two

To be sure that all these days continue

Things we can...

Oh, yeah...



Oh, we climb on two by two

Oh no, just to be sure

That all these days continue
