100 Pianos

Michigan lakes
 Remember we moved a 100 pianos in one day
 For some kind of show
 My brother was m.i.a.
 We met in july
 I think we were swimming at the lake when pope paul died
 I thought to myslef "you'd make the perfect bride"
 If i could make you laugh
 If i could make you laugh
 If i could make you laugh
 If i could make you laugh
 Would you have stayed when i left?
 I can still recall your taste it's all i kept
 That town was such a waste
 But you i won't forget
 Work was steady enough
 When everyone wanted uprights in their basement dens
 Unfinished houses they were just built right in
 My mom and dad
 I still think my leaving was the thing that did them in
 I came back for the wakes
 I never came home again
 If i could make you laugh
 If i could make you laugh
 If i could make you laugh
 If i could make you laugh
 Would you have stayed when i left?
 I can still recall your taste it's all i kept
 That town was such a waste
 But you i won't forget
 I never could forgot
 Was it love or just a play
 It seems a million years away
 Sometimes i see you in my sleep
 Muddy water on your feet
 The sun was shining on your hair
 I reach your hand but you're not there
 I hope you're laughing all the time
 I hope you still can read my mind
 I hope you're laughing all the time
 I hope you're laughing all the time
 All the time
 All the time
 I think in the spring
 I'll go back and buy one of those pianos learn to play
 I'm setting aside a couple of hours a day
