Murphy Had a Birthday
[Intro]
One, two, three, four

[Chorus]
Come sit before me, I've been waiting for you
Tell me your story, mine would only bore you

[Verse 1]
A young man lives his life
You're free and so unwind
An old man takes his time
Recorded out the line
I'll celebrate the years
What do you think I will hear?
We'll raise our glasses high
And let the rockets fly

[Chorus]
Come sit before me, I've been waiting for you
Tell me your story, mine would only bore you

[Verse 2]
Today you're eighty-two
We walk the path with you
I brought an open heart
I don't know where to start
But I will laugh with you
And we'll get drunk again
The time will scratch away
Beyond us thinly to the ground
[Chorus]
Come sit before me, I've been waiting for you
Tell me your story, mine would only bore you

[Verse 3]
We live in abstract words
Although it's often heard
And every man is right
To sit and white on wine
I need reality
The world wide that's for me
One day, we'll have to go
And that's through, we both know

[Chorus]
Come sit before me, I've been waiting for you
Tell me your story, mine would only bore you

[Verse 2]
Today you're eighty-two
We walk the path with you
I brought an open heart
I don't know where to start
But I will laugh with you
And we'll get drunk again
If I will scratch away
Beyond that thinly to the ground
[Outro]
Come sit before me
Come sit before me
Come sit before me
Come sit before me
