Is it my imagination or is it my iron pride

I wonder if it matters much if time is on my side

I'd rather press on, I don't wanta rest easy

Anywhere I stray, I will make it a brand new day



Anyway, that is all I've gotta say

I'd rather be by the seaside

Than be playing a one night stand

I've been too wrapped up in my own dreams



I will change things if I can

I gotta press on, don't wanta rest easy

Wouldn't it feel fine to return to the women and the wine

And all of the sunshine that we knew



You will never know what blue is

Until you have played the game

Till you live life in solitaire where

No one knows your name



I'd rather press on, I don't want to rest easy

Have it anyway you will

I will be with you right up until

The spell is broken and all is well



If you'd rather be by the seashore

Well, I sure can understand

Are you too wrapped up in your own scene

I would change things if I can



I'd rather press on, don't want to rest easy

Wouldn't it feel fine

But remembering the rhythm and the rhymes

And all of the good times makes me blue



Wouldn't it feel fine to return to the women and the wine

And all of the sunshine that we knew
