Ocean Blue Past Future Perfect Lyrics

In the corner stands a strawman
 with a cocktail
 in his right hand
 firm handshakes
 all around
 as he slowly sips away
 In the twilight
 sits a reader
 and the words they
 grab ane lead her
 to another
 world apart
 as she slowly
 slips away
 You can drown me
 in my sorrows
(From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/o/ocean-blue-lyrics/past-future-perfect-lyrics.html)
 that can leave me
 on the morrow
 but the best part
 is the last
 let it slowly
 fade away
 Does it strike you
 as an odd thing
 how a man keeps remembering
 where the future
 meets the past
 and then slowly
 fades
 slowly fades
 slowly fades
 away
