Cool Breeze by Bat McGrath Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He was thumbin' through the paper
For the fourth time in a row
“A bit slow,” they'd wink, but I don't think that's so
The nurses called him Cool Breeze, and oh, Willie loved that name
And everyone agreed he felt no pain
[Verse 2]
They wheeled him off to breakfast
Where he saw his best friend Dan
And in just one glance, they spoke man to man
Thought it would be lonely, but should have understood
Sometimes you just feel bad, an’ sometimes good
[Chorus]
But I'm with ya Willie, I'm here to break your fall
I guеss the crazy way you said things ain't that crazy after all
Hey, I'm with ya Williе, I remember your last sound
I clearly heard you say, "Next time around."
[Verse 3]
Pictures on the TV
Downs inside your food
Do they think that's the best that you can do?
Eighty years of tryin', and now they treat you like a fool
Oh Willie, when will they catch on to you
[Verse 4]
One last game of checkers
One more ri-hide down the hall
Dan, he was the first to hear the call
An’ softly as a cool breeze, their eyes spoke just once more
When Dan met Willie halfway to the floor
[Chorus]
And said I'm with ya Willie, I'm here to break your fall
I guess the crazy way you said things ain't that crazy after ah-hall
Hey, I'm with ya Willie, I remember your last sound
I clearly heard you say, "Next time arou-hound."
I’m sure I heard you say, “Next time around.”
He was thumbin' through the paper
