Thankful Lyrics - Winter Pays For Summer - Glen Phillips

Forgive me this sin 

I'm falling over 

Flashing tin grins 

And rolling in clover 

So ready to get out 

And eager to please 

Well, it's late in the day in the middle of a life 

But it's early in the century 

I never got it, I never got it before 

Hey, hello, how do you get on 

With so much undone, it's like it was before 

We've both got a lot to be thankful for 

We've both got a lot to be thankful for 

Forgive me my tongue 

It doesn't know what it's doing 

It used to get washed out 

Now it's undisciplined and crude 

I'm losing my language 

And calling a truce 

And the shape of the thoughts in my head 

Aren't right for the words I've got to use 

I got it never, never it got I before 

Hey, hello, how do you get on 

With so much undone, and still you shine like a sun 

We've both got a lot to be thankful for 

We've both got a lot to be thankful for 

White dwarf, red giant 

It's empty in space 

And where there's matter there's violence 

I never got it, I never got it before 

Hey, hello, how do you get on 

With so much undone, and still you shine like a sun 

We've both got a lot to be thankful for 

We've both got a lot to be thankful for 

We've both got a lot to be thankful for 

We've both got a lot to be thankful for 

We've both got a lot to be thankful for
