At
three score years and ten
He has earned the time
To potter in the garden
Time to plant potatoes,
time to plant some bees
The butcher bird is waiting,
she knows what this means
Old boy takes a break
Spreads honey on some bread
The butcher bird is busy
Making sure her worm is dead
Old boy doesn't close his eyes
To imagine anymore
He is home at last,
what he's been wishing for
He is so peaceful,
so happy he could scream
Living in the valley,
the valley of his dreams
Why does it take so long
to put your fate on the ground?
The old boy is thinkin'
he took the long way around
But it's been his dream time,
it's where he's always been
But what you burn
says it all sweeter than a violin
By three score years and ten
He has earned the time
To potter in the garden
He'll be
pickin' chel lies
He'll be makin' chilly oil
Gone back to be the man,
the man of the soil
He is so peaceful,
so happy he could scream
Livin' in the valley,
the valley of his dreams
But as it takes so long
to put your feet on the ground
The old boy is thinking
he took the
long way around
But it's been his dream time,
it's where he's always been
The butcher bird says it all sweeter than a violin
I have hopes and I have a plan
I need your love and I need your hand
To help me through the fu
ture that I see
Call me obsessed, call me mad
You're the best woman
I've ever had
You're the one to share
the valley with me
I don't believe there's anything else
It doesn't get better than this
I'm in heaven and I am sad
on every day that I'm here
No, I don't believe that there is more
I won't be knocking on
St. Peter's door
The gate is open to
see what I can see
A snake will bite, an ant will sting
Mother Nature is my king
Every day the bush is calling me
I don't believe there's anything else
It doesn't get better than this
I'm in heaven and I am sad
On every day that I miss
People talk of paradise
When you die, it's their advice
The more you suffer,
the better it will be
Somewhere
up there in the sky
Angels show us how to fly,
but who needs wings
when you feel like me?
I don't believe there's anything else,
it doesn't get better than this
I'm in heaven and I am sad
on every day that I miss
No, I don't believe there's anything else,
it doesn't get better than this
I'm in heaven and I am sad
