I was a ragtime millionaire
I was handsome like a hound in my underwear
I was just standing there
on the beach, blowing kisses out to sea
some days I can't stop smiling
some memory lets the light in
ain't new year's day a fine thing
in such fine company
I wish I was with you
wish you wrote the rules
I wish I could keep you closer
I wish I could leave you all my love
when the devil takes me out
I wish I could keep you closer
one hundred years of winter
and I was just a bare assed beginner
trying to do right by the sinners
who took me into their hearts
why do we let the good things go
red sunset and a little black boat
and kisses like nobody knows
I cover the waterfront, but that's no way to make a new start
