This was a song I wrote too many years ago
More than I’d like to know
Or want you to remember
Born in time to see the sixties die
Born too late to know what was so great
Or remember
The river ran round on the other side
Where it can never come back
Are you having a wonderful life?
I was the song I wrote before I thought to sing
Some of them thought there were other things I should do here
And you missed the rain until it started up
Standing outside with a paper cup in December
The river ran round on the other side
But it can never run back
Are you having a wonderful life?
The sound of wind rushing in the trees
Singing drunk on a trampoline in December
The river can run round the other side
But it can never run back
Are you having a wonderful life?
