You trudged on, through a sea of sand and shake

You were a child of god, you were a big blue ox, Babe

We got old, I mean we really thought we did

We played our cards, but Christ, your hand was shit

I was pissed, when you fell through the bathroom door

Some glacial rift, you and I on either shore

So many chances to settle the score

Who would have thought we'd be asking for more

Now I'm retracing footsteps and grasping at straws

I've had so much to tell you since you've been gone

Sticks and stones, they piled on the weight

You trudged on, you were a big blue ox, Babe

You were a big blue ox, Babe
