One Drink to Remember
I've seen many things since the day of my birth
I've lived and I've loved and I've sailed round the earth
I've worked many jobs and I've walked many paths
I've walked on the shore and balanced on the mast
So pass round the ale and drink to the past
The wheel keeps on turning and never can last
The years and the tears and the lies and regrets
One drink to remember, and one to forget
I swore I'd love once or I'd not love at all
But the one I loved most was Mother Earth's call
From the oceans and deserts and mountains and seas
I supped from the wisdom that grew on the trees
So pass round the ale and drink to the past
The wheel keeps on turning and never can last
The years and the tears and the lies and regrets
One drink to remember, and one to forget
And I lied and I cried and I gambled and lost
I spent all I had and ne'er heeded the cost
I found sweet redemption in a sunset filled sky
Salt water kisses and chameleon eyes
So pass round the ale and drink to the past
The wheel keeps on turning and never can last
The years and the tears and the lies and regrets
One drink to remember, and one to forget
