My heart is spoken for,
Body is negotiable,
My soul is not my own,
My mind is mine, but sociable,
History does not repeat,
It’s never even stopped,
We just keep picking up
Where someone else has dropped,
And yet –
If this is all we get,
Then what are we to do,
But treat each other kindly,
Though we haven’t got a clue.
I’m full of memories,
They’re spilling over the brim,
And they make loss of time
Seem so awful grim,
But here I am right now,
Making one anew,
And it just so happens
That I’m here right now with you,
And thus –
We must not fuss,
‘Cause what are we to do,
but move each other gently,
Though we havent’ got a clue.
Answers are just questions
That have chosen a direction,
Gestures are just needs we have,
Reached for with our golden glove,
It’s not that I’m accusing you,
‘cause clearly I am guilty too,
but if we’ve got this chance,
I’d rather go for romance,
Words are spoken all the time
They’re all we’ve really got,
Though there are galaxies
‘tween what we’ve said and what we’ve thought
and though you say nice things to me
They’re only borrowed lines,
From every other person,
In every other time,
And so, if this is all we know,
Then what are we to do,
Then speak with candid honesty
Though we haven’t got a clue.
