Walden Pond

I hope you spend your days writing verses on your page
 May your life be a Walden Pond swim
 Taking showers in the cold
 And your glasses filled to their brim
 And I hope you treat your heart real nice and real smart
 May your life be a Walden Pond swim
 Can't be worthless seein' stars
 Buying rocky-road for me and him
 Stay in that water and keep where you're feeling fine
 But I'm just the daughter of a man who lives on oak and wine
 And I swim like my father
 And remember hard days drivin' miles across county lines
 And I hope you realize why the clouds are always crying
 May your life be a Walden Pond dive
 Shaking flowers at the ground
 While you live the life you did at five
 And I hope it's testified for you the best had been denied
 May your life be a Walden Pond swim
 May you find your love to last
 And the times you have are never grim
 Stay in that water and keep where you're feeling fine
 But I'm just the daughter of a man who lives on oak and wine
 And I swim like my father
 And remember good days drivin' miles across county lines

 I've still got those pictures that I found in a bucket
 They're all up on my wall
 And I've still got those paintings that you did for my birthday, way back in the fall
 And I've still got those pictures that I found in a bucket
 They're all up on my wall
