Glen Phillips & Toad Lyrics

Thankful (Winter pays for summer)

Forgive me this sin, I’m falling over Flashing tin grins and rolling in clover So ready to get out and eager to please Well it’s late in the day in the middle of a life But it’s early in the century I never got it, I never got it before Hey, hello, how do you get on With so much undone, it’s like it was before We’ve both got a lot to be thankful for Forgive me my tongue it doesn’t know what it’s doing It used to get washed out now it’s undisciplined and crude I’m losing my language and calling a truce And the shape of the thoughts in my head Aren’t right for the words I’ve got to use I got it never, never it got I before Hey, hello, how do you get on With so much undone, and still you shine like a sun We’ve both got a lot to be thankful for White dwarf, red giant it’s empty in space And where there’s matter there’s violence I never got it, I never got it before Hey, hello, how do you get on With so much undone, it’s like it was before We’ve both got a lot to be thankful for
