my lyricsbox
The days of wine and roses
Are distant days for me
I dream of the last and the next affair
And of girls I'll never see

And here I sit
The retired writer in the sun
The retired writer in the sun and I'm blue
The retired writer in the sun

Tonight I trod in the starlight
I excused myself with a grin
I ponder the moon in a silver spoon
And the little one 'live within

And here I sit
The retired writer in the sun
The retired writer in the sun

The magazine girl poses
On my glossy paper aeroplane
Too many years I spent in the City
Playing with Mr. Loss and Gain

And here I sit
The retired writer in the sun
The retired writer in the sun and I'm blue
The retired writer in the sun

I bathe in the sun of the morning
Lemon circles swim in the tea
Fishing for time with a wishing line
And throwing it back in the sea

And here I sit, the retired writer in the sun
The retired writer in the sun and I'm blue
The retired writer in the sun
This song is from the album "Mellow Yellow", "In Concert: Complete 1967 Anaheim Show" and "Super Hits".
