I took off for a weekend last
month Just to try and recall the whole year
All of the faces and all of the
places Wonderin’ where they all disappeared
I didn’t ponder the question
too long I was hungry and went out for a bite
Ran into a chum with a bottle
of rum and we wound up drinkin’ all night
It’s
these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes / Nothing remains quite the
same
With
all of our running and all of our cunning / if we couldn’t laugh we would all
go insane
Reading departure signs in some
big airport reminds me of the places I’ve been
Visions of good times that
brought so much pleasure makes me want to go back again
If it suddenly ended tomorrow /
I could somehow adjust to the fall
Good times and riches and son of
a bitches I’ve seen more than I can recall
(2nd
Chorus:)
These
changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes / Nothing remains quite the same
Through
all of the islands and all of the highlands / If we couldn’t laugh we would all
go insane
I think about Paris when I’m
high on red wine / I wish I could jump on a plane
So many nights I just dream of
the ocean / God I wish I was sailin’ again
Oh, yesterday’s over my
shoulder / So I can’t look back for too long
There’s just too much to see
waiting in front of me / and I know that I just can’t go wrong
(Last
Chorus:)
With
these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes / Nothing remains quite the
same
With
all of my running and all of my cunning / If I couldn’t laugh I just would go
insane
If
we couldn’t laugh we just would go insane
