Album: Giraffe

Nearly All The Time

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
