Let those winds of time blow over my head.
I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead.”

Jimmy Buffett

Growing Older But Not Up
Song lyrics, Coconut Telegraph (1981)

“Enduring echoes call out from his past.
Time ain't for saving, no time's not for that.
Chasing false echoes like a lost legionnaire,
He waltzes on memories while he fades like a flare.”

Jimmy Buffett

False Echoes
Song lyrics, Banana Wind (1996)

“I used to rule my world from a pay phone
And ships out on the sea.
But now times are rough
And I got too much stuff;
Can't explain the likes of me.But there's this one particular harbour,
So far but yet so near.
Where I see the days as they fade away,
And finally disappear.”

Jimmy Buffett

One Particular Harbour, written with Bobby Holcomb
Song lyrics, One Particular Harbour (1983)
