Carl Broemel Lyrics
On The Case Lyrics
I saw an old man hold out his hand
and I didnt care at all
but spot a stray dog thats probably lost
and Ill stop the car
I know that somethings off but I cant stop
rolling my golden way
the past has long been prologue
but I am on the case
everywhere I go theyre trying to raise some dough
but I didnt give a dime
I spent eighty bucks on four bottles of wine
and I didnt bat an eye
I know that somethings off but I cant stop
rolling my golden way
the past has long been prologue
but I am on the case
scary how easy it is to waste the day
staring at a screen
while gathering dust the stack of unfinished books
that Ill have to start again
I know that somethings off but I cant stop
rolling my golden way
the past has long been prologue
but I am on the case
retired
weeds are growing in beds by the water
someone is swimming out in the harbour
a twinkling lighthouse is guiding a ship off to sea
the wind is blowing the sails from the east
down in the cabin youre fixing some tea
to classical music youre dancing a waltz on your own
