verse
i took off for a weekend last month
just to try and recall the whole year
all of the faces and all of the places
wonderin’ where they all disappeared
i didn’t ponder the question too long
i was hungry and went out for a bite
ran into a chum with a bottle of rum
and we wound up drinkin’ all night
it’s those changes in latitudes changes in attitudes
nothing remains quite the same
with all of our running and all of our cunning
if we couldn’t laugh we would all go insane
verse
reading departure signs in some big airport
reminds me of the places i’ve been
visions of good times that brought so much pleasure
makes me want to go back again
if it suddenly ended tomorrow
i could somehow adjust to the fall
good times and riches and son of a bitches
i’ve seen more than i can recall
these changes in latitudes changes in attitudes
nothing remains quite the same
through all of the islands and all of the highlands
if we couldn’t laugh we would all go insane
verse
i think about paris when i’m high on red wine
i wish i could jump on a plane
and so many nights i just dream of the ocean
god i wish i was sailin’ again
oh yesterdays are over my shoulder
so i can’t look back for too long
there’s just too much to see waiting in front of me
and i know that i just can’t go wrong
with these changes in latitudes changes in attitudes
nothing remains quite the same
with all of my running and all of my cunning
if i couldn’t laugh i just would go insane
if we couldn’t laugh we just would go insane
if we weren’t all crazy we would go insane
