I wondered

yes i wondered

nearly all the time

will the trees get any taller

in about an hours time

i always wanted the best for you

but now you've slipped away

tomorrow holds the future

i'm stuck in yesterday



sadness was a virtue

that i always swept aside

now it's catching up with me

and i don't have the time

love can make a man see

and love can make him blind

i just kept my eyes closed

and i ran from the ties that bind



there's people want to close this factory

they want to close my mind

those people have got no direction

they can't read the signs



i listened to the teacher

i listened to the priest

i only learned what i wanted to learn

only believed what i want to believe
