Walden Pond

I hope you spend your days writing verses on your page

May your life be a Walden Pond swim

Taking showers in the cold

And your glasses filled to their brim

And I hope you treat your heart real nice and real smart

May your life be a Walden Pond swim

Can't be worthless seein' stars

Buying rocky-road for me and him

Stay in that water and keep where you're feeling fine

But I'm just the daughter of a man who lives on oak and wine

And I swim like my father

And remember hard days drivin' miles across county lines

And I hope you realize why the clouds are always crying

May your life be a Walden Pond dive

Shaking flowers at the ground

While you live the life you did at five

And I hope it's testified for you the best had been denied

May your life be a Walden Pond swim

May you find your love to last

And the times you have are never grim

Stay in that water and keep where you're feeling fine

But I'm just the daughter of a man who lives on oak and wine

And I swim like my father

And remember good days drivin' miles across county lines

I've still got those pictures that I found in a bucket

They're all up on my wall

And I've still got those paintings that you did for my birthday, way back in the fall

And I've still got those pictures that I found in a bucket

They're all up on my wall

And I've still got those paintings that you did for my birthday, way back in the fall

Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm

Hmm-hmm-hmm
