The days of wine and roses are gone
We won't light fires in the sun
The time of pain and sadness is done
Let me take your hand
Thousand miles across the sea
A lifetime of blues on the run
The years have passed and good friends have gone
A weary world marches on
I raise a glass in the cold setting sun
They would understand
Thousand miles across the sea
A lifetime of blues on the run
The days of wine and roses are gone
We won't light fires in the sun
The time of pain and sadness is done
Let me take your hand
