[00:17.82]The days of wine and roses are distant days for me
[00:29.63]I dream of the last and the next affair and of girls
[00:38.07]I'll never see
[00:43.68]And here I sit the retired writer in the sun
[00:52.97]The retired writer in the sun  and I'm
[00:57.67]Blue  the retired writer in the sun
[01:08.84]Tonight I trod in starlight  I excuse myself with a grin
[01:21.57]I ponder the moon in a silver spoon and the little one alive
[01:31.83]Within
[01:36.68]And here I sit the retired writer in the sun
[01:46.52]The retired writer in the sun
[02:13.94]The magazine girl poses on my glossy paper aeroplane
[02:27.33]Too many years I spent in the city playing with Mister Loss
[02:36.75]And Gain
[02:41.89]And here I sit the retired writer in the sun
[02:51.99]The retired writer in the sun  and I'm
[02:56.71]Blue  the retired writer in the sun
[03:08.59]I bathe in the sun of the morning  lemon circles swim in the
[03:18.87]Tea
[03:21.56]Fishing for time with a wishing line and throwing it back in
[03:30.94]The sea
[03:35.99]And here I sit the retired writer in the sun
[03:45.77]The retired writer in the sun  and I'm
[03:50.65]Blue  the retired writer in the sun
