I'd Rather Press On - Gordon Lightfoot

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 wanna rest easy

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

Anyway, that’s all I’ve got to say

I’d rather be by the seaside, than be playin' 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 wanna 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 solitare 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 wanna 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
