With green shinning eyes
And a big crackled smile
She whispered "I remember better days"
"Now all that is left
Is to keep watering my plants"
As she cries, I turn and I say
"Misfortunate stories
Few moments of glory
People you've met on your way
Can kill and revive you
Can free and divide you
You can lose, but it's only a game"
So we'll laugh
And we'll smoke
And we'll make stupid jokes
At each other
To get through the night
Because sometimes
You need
Just that friend who will heed
To remind you
That you are alright
As I take the last drag
I raise up my flag
Mumbling "I remember better days"
"Now all that remains
Is the curse in my name"
As I sigh, she gets up and says
"The wind by the river
Your lungs and your liver
Are nothing but bumps on your way
They may slowly defeat you
But may also complete you
Oh, I'm sure you can win the game"
So we'll laugh
And we'll smoke
And we'll make stupid jokes
At each other
To get through the night
Because sometimes
You need
Just that friend who will heed
To remind you
That you are alright
