Sometimes

And oh how beautiful the cars on the Motorway
And how beautiful the mist in the trees
And oh how beautiful the tunnels in the mountains
And how beautiful the falling leaves

And I'm a coward and you know it
Always running from a fight
I've got coffee in the morning
And I've got whiskey late at night
And though I spend life singing sad songs
It's only now I realise
That sometimes it's just good to be alive

And oh how beautiful the seasons
Blowing through an endless year
The leaves that bud and flower
And then fall and disappear

And oh beautiful my darling
That you and I are still here
I sing to you in a hotel room
And whisper all my fears

But I'm a coward and you know it
Always running from a fight
I've got coffee in the morning
And I've got whiskey late at night
And though I spend life singing sad songs
It's only now I realise
That sometimes it's just good to be alive

When I get nervous I repeat myself
And when I'm tired I just complain
Running from the storm
Or hiding from the rain

One of these days
I'm going to prove to you what you mean to me
Maybe I'll go and buy a ring
Maybe I'll get down on one knee

But I'm a coward and you know it
Always running from a fight
I've got coffee in the morning
And I've got whiskey late at night
And though I spend life singing sad songs
It's only now I realise
That sometimes it's just good to be alive

And sometimes it's just good to be alive
