another live recording with Julien Feltin. I like the simplicity of it.

lyrics

A Toast

I propose a toast
To the living and the dead
I propose a toast
To the lost souls without bread

I propose a toast
And may my throat be dry
Here’s to all the ghosts
Whose carpets never fly

CH
I shouldn’t boast
I’ve had my share of misfortunes
Miscarriages
Misfires
From coast to coast
From here to there
Along the wire…

I propose a toast
To the injured and the weak
Let me be your host
And conjure up the bleak

CH
I shouldn’t boast
I’ve had my share of misfortunes
Miscarriages
Misfires
From coast to coast
From here to there
Along the wire…

(bridge)
Come drink with me
Drink to me
Until the desert closes in
We’ll suck the drops of infinite space
And lick the black within
(repeat)

I propose a toast
To those who loved me-you did good
I did the most
But mostly just what I could

CH

From coast to coast
From here to there
Along the wire…
(repeat twice)
