lyrics

Times I’ve been happy and times I’ve been sad
Times I’ve been lonesome almost drive me mad
Gathering in the good times and thrown out the bad
These foolish things they comfort me

The wind and the rain the sun in the sky
Nearer my to heaven on a holy mountain high
Times like this almost feel I could surely fly
These foolish things they comfort me

When sitting by a river bottle of wine
Warm fire just you and I
Sharing these moments captured for all of time
These foolish things they comfort me

So come gather good people wherever you are
Brothers and sisters come drink at the bar
To friends and to lovers wherever you are
These foolish things they comfort me

The whispering breeze the birds as they cry
The earth and the sea every cloud in the sky
This river that flows between you and I
These foolish things they comfort me yeah

And when I’m dead and buried and gone
Gonna scatter me my ashes over all kingdom come
To the earth I return when my day is surely done
These foolish things they comfort me yeah
