Spring is softly singing, but you don't hear a thing
Your head it's underwater and you chose right now to drink
I'll sit here with you brother, I'll sit here if you need
We don't have a lot to do and I could use the company
Dreams are softly fading, took the train to the next town
It's hard to keep your chin up when those dreams they aren't around
I'll sit here with you sister, I'll sit here if you need
We don't have a lot to do and I could use the company
And sorrow may be dragging, muddy feet across the floor
Times like these, you and me, find what were living for
and until he gets to leavin, come in close, pull up a seat
You need to remember that you haven't lost our love
The children may have left the nest but it's home they still think of
I'll sit here with you mother, I'll sit here if you need
We don't have a lot to do and I could use the company
Them calloused hands aint working, dusty boots now clean
Don't be sad you shut the shop or you closed that cash machine
I'll sit here with you father, I'll sit here if you need
We don't have a lot to do and I could use the company
And sorrow may be dragging, muddy feet across the floor
Times like these, you and me, find what were living for
and until he gets to leavin, come in close, pull up a seat
Don't forget the sunshine, don't shy from the rain
Right now may be storming, but the birds they'll sing again
I'll sit here with you friend, I'll sit here if you need
We don't have a lot to do and I could use the company
