I wish that I could take you for a breath of fresh air
I would walk you to the beach to listen to the sound of roaring waves
The smell of the sea breeze, feel the wind play with your hair
We could have a glass of whisky, to end the day
Your head is still above water, little wrinkles on your face
You’re looking very fragile, we just have to have faith
You win some you lose some you lose some you lose some
I wish that you could bring me back to nice times in the past
You could take me to the harbour, listen to the sound of screaming gulls
The smell of the fishingboats, feel the cold rain on our face
We’d have another whisky, in a haze
My head is still above water, a little wrinkle on my face
I’m feeling very fragile, but I’m keeping the faith
You win some you lose some ….
I wish we’d watch the sun set see the sky turn red
Drive home to our old house and not your hospital bed
To the smell of a nice meal cooking, feel the heat come from the fire
We’ll have another whisky, and retire
Our heads are still above water, little wrinkles on our face
We’re feeling fragile ..
You win some you lose some …
