Lyrics The Proclaimers

The Proclaimers

Better Days

Maybe if I just think out loud tonight

Then I'll know what to do

Five years all felt the same

And then it changed and I was loving you

Better days for sure

Mary, our love still can bring

Violins and roses to my mind

But I swear I haven't missed a moment

Of the life I've left behind

It's just a fading sound

So be with me while decades turn us older

We've both much love that lasts

A whole life through

We could live in Fife or out in Texas

Anywhere, as long as I'm with you

Last year it seemed the things

We've worked for were all gonna come to pass

One hit proclaimed that

Mrs. Reid's boys would finally pay some tax

Thank the Lord for that

But I'll admit I wasn't too impressed love

Events compound the doubts I've had before

The only struggle worth it is in the music

The other stuff can't interest me at all

Mary, we've got to see America,

I need to ride those trains

This year we're going to take

A jet plane there no matter what it takes

For the musics' sake
