On the deck we sat counting those stars
You and I
Together
The night was windless
The wine was freshness
The bourbon nectar of the gods
Lick your lips
The taste warming the cockles
Say, what can be better than that
While the children slept
Watched by countless daddy longlegs
In that old and dusty room
Six beds
Six heads
Cotton bundles all in a row
Tired content
Totally spent
At days end what do we have
If it is only this
Then yes, yes I'm happy
Content
Yes, I'll rest easy in my rocking chair
Yes I will
Rest easy in the ground with that
