[00:09.806]Well I wandered alone,
[00:12.173]Through a desert of stone,
[00:14.289]And I dreamed of my future wife.
[00:19.472]My sword's in my hand,
[00:21.605]And I'm next in command,
[00:24.072]In this version of Death called Life.
[00:28.939]My plate and my cup,
[00:31.289]Are right straight up,
[00:33.489]I took a rose from the hand of a child.
[00:38.338]When I kiss your lips,
[00:40.955]The honey drips,
[00:43.123]I'm gonna have to put you down for a while.
[00:53.204]Every day we meet,
[00:55.404]On any old street,
[00:57.687]And you're in your girlish prime.
[01:02.590]The short and the tall,
[01:04.888]Are coming to the ball,
[01:07.487]I go there all the time.
[01:12.387]Behind every tree,
[01:14.454]There's something to see,
[01:16.703]The river is wider than a mile.
[01:21.921]I tried you twice,
[01:23.870]You can't be nice,
[01:26.421]I'm gonna have to put you down for a while.
[01:36.438]Here come the nurse,
[01:38.571]With money in her purse,
[01:41.021]Here come the ladies and men.
[01:45.736]You push it all in,
[01:47.953]And you've no chance to win,
[01:50.828]You play 'em on down to the end.
[01:55.604]I'm laying in the sand,
[01:57.671]Getting a sunshine tan,
[02:00.436]Moving along, riding in style.
[02:04.891]From my toes to my head,
[02:07.141]You knock me dead,
[02:09.842]I'm gonna have to put you down for a while.
[02:19.750]I count the years,
[02:21.765]And I shed no tears,
[02:24.066]I'm blinded to what might have been.
[02:29.098]Nature's voice,
[02:30.699]Makes my heart rejoice,
[02:33.833]Play me the wild song of the wind.
[02:38.166]I found hopeless love,
[02:40.949]In the room above,
[02:43.331]When the sun and the weather were riled.
[02:47.916]You're as fine as wine,
[02:50.331]I ain't handing you no line,
[02:52.649]I'm gonna have to put you down for a while.
[03:07.383]All the merry little elves,
[03:09.665]Can go hang themselves,
[03:12.216]My faith is as cold as can be.
[03:16.566]I'm stacked high to the roof,
[03:18.800]And I'm not without proof,
[03:21.768]If you don't believe me, come see.
[03:26.432]You think I'm blue,
[03:28.982]I think so, too,
[03:31.199]In my words you'll find no guile.
[03:36.133]The game's gotten old,
[03:38.416]The deck's gone cold,
[03:40.699]And I'm gonna have to put you down for a while.
[03:45.966]The game's gotten old,
[03:48.199]The deck's gone cold,
[03:50.449]And I'm gonna have to put you down for a while.
