lyrics

As the town dust settles on my wrinkles
And this old pain settles behind my eyes
I ponder how they lost their twinkle
Along with my bohemian life

I am respected in this townland
And with all my good work that’s my right
But what if way back when I’d cut loose
And lived a bohemian life

And you tell me every day you love me
You there, with your powdered face and your trousered thigh
I tell myself that, yes, this is love
And I try to do you right

But picture you in a flower garden
Your hair paying homage to the sunlight
Picture you in love as you might
As my bohemian wife

I could throw this paper in the shredder
My two weeks holidays per year
I could throw it all away forever
Leave, and never come back here

My dedication to your company
Is nothing more than a hill of sand
I could turn the hourglass right around now
And be a bohemian man

As the town light makes shadows of my wrinkles
I shuffle all my work and sigh
Somewhere a distant star twinkles
And that’s my bohemian life

Time to turn in now and reconnect the dots
Tomorrow is another day in the bosom of my family
