Song For Cornelis - Sivert Høyem

Ah the drink and the fun

The singer, the song

Sing almighty how long

Throwin' shapes in the sun

What strange men we become

Sing almighty how long

Then you waste in the pale afternoon

And it’s not gonna stop sometime soon

But back at the hotel

You’re not feeling too well

Sing almighty how long

Who can tell?

Really, what’s it to you

If it’s false or if it’s true

Sing almighty how

What good does it do?

When your singing is through

And they ask on to you

Sing almighty how

Really, how do you do?

Then you shake at the tip of a pen

And you’re not going through this again

Does it keep you alert?

Do you know where it hurts?

Sing almighty how long

What’s the worth?

But you’ll risk it again for a song

It sounds right, it cannot be wrong

Your blood and your senses are strong

And you gotta keep movin' along

Yeah, you’re riskin' it again

But you’re not doing it for them

No, you’re almighty how long

Your own man

Sing it almighty how long

Your own song
