life can be

oh, the sun is so hot
a cold drink, i have not
but there's shade by the tree
and a bench just for me

oh, the night is cold and wet
my warm coat, lost in a bet
four more blocks, to the bar
come to play my guitar

life can be oh so much
then again, not enough
life can be hard to live
but it's all perspective

Mary Lou she'll be there
but you know i just don't care
and i wont look thru the gleam
see her enough in my dreams
