about

Wishful thinking about the wish to get rid of the need to explain - while I explain.

lyrics

On a morning in spring the need to explain
Went walking on out of the door
I watched it go
With a sigh of relief
With no sign of the grief
Which had recently bonded so tightly
With words gone and go

Where I had got it
I really don’t know
Where it had come from
I don’t want to know

I’m just glad that it’s gone
That it’s gone
And it’s so
Delightful to know that it’s gone

If it ever comes back
I’ll pretend I don’t see it
If it ever comes back
I’ll deny that I’ve seen it
If it ever comes back
I’ll deny it I mean it
And that’s all you and I need to know

With no need to explain
I’ll be in from a rain
That had fallen on me
Long ago

From an overcast sky
Dark and damp with the why
That unanswered questions
Can’t dry

But the dryness will seep now
Soak into the scene
As the need to explain
Goes on out of the door

And the changes will come
As at last I’ll arrive
Unhampered
On sanity’s shore

With no need to explain
I’ll be in from a rain
That had fallen on me
Long ago

With no need to explain
I’ll be in from a rain
That had fallen on me
Long ago

On sanity’s shore with no need to explain
With no need to explain I’ll be in from a rain
That had fallen unknowingly long long ago
A rain I choose now not to know
