For a while, we could sit, smoke a pipe 
And discuss all the vast intricacies of life 
We could jaw through the night 

Talk about a range of subjects, anything you like 
Oh yeah 

But we always came back to the songs we were singing 
At any particular time 
Yeah we always came back to the songs we were singing 
At any particular time 

Take a sip, see the world through a glass 
And speculate about the cosmic solution 
To the sound, blue guitars 
Caught up in a philosophical discussion 

Oh yeah 

But we always came back to the songs we were singing 
At any particular time 
Yeah we always came back to the songs we were singing 
At any particular time

For a while, we could sit, smoke a pipe 
And discuss all the vast intricacies of life 
Yeah, we could jaw through the night 

Talk about a range of subjects, anything you like 
But we always came back to the songs we were singing 
At any particular time 
Yeah we always came back to the songs we were singing 
At any particular time 

Yeah, we always came back 

Take a sip, see the world through a glass 
And speculate about the cosmic solution 
To the sound, blue guitars 
Caught up in a philosophical discussion 
Oh yeah 

But we always came back to the songs we were singing 
At any particular time 
Yes we always came back to the songs we were singing 
At any particular time 
Yeah 

We always came back to the songs we were singing
