lyrics

Hey there, my lady Rosamund, why
Out there tarries as fine a cab as you and I
Will ever hoped to find.
So why not pack your bags?
I feel a load of bricks has hit my head,
It's done it's job of finally waking me from
My long sleep, now of five years gone.
It's time that you and I had got along.
Hey let's go for a ride while we still got time.
Grab your mandolin, we'll sing our songs
Into the middle of the night.
These songs were meant for more than singing;
These tales are meant for more than repetition.
Why tarry on the edge of life?
Take hold my hand and hold your breath, we're diving in.
Hey let's go for a ride while we still got time
Drinking deep of the well of life that He offers,
It's more than we could know.
Wasting time fooling with things.
We're far to easily pleased.
Hey let's go for a ride while we still got time
Drinking deep of the well of life that He offers, so hold on tight,
We'll sing our songs into the middle of the night
To our Maker, our Beloved, the Giver of Life.
