The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
After all we said today
The strangest thought occurred
I feel I ought to tell you
But it's clearly quite absurd
Wouldn't it be wonderful
If you could read my mind
Imagine all the stuff
That we could leave behind
How many words you waste
Before you're understood
Or simply sow some seeds
You'd do it if you could
Let me take a moment
Of your time
Inside you mind
I know what you're thinking
But I don't know what to say
The turmoil and the conflict
You don't have to feel that way
Look into my eyes
And feel my hand upon your heart
Holding us together
Not tearing us apart
How many words we waste
To justify a crime
Compare it to an act of love
That really takes no time
Why not take a moment
To unwind
Inside your mind
How many words I've wasted
You don't want to hear
Why not sit in silence
While the muddy walls clear
Why not take a moment
To unwind
Inside your mind
After all we said today
The strangest thought occurred
I feel I ought to tell you
But it's clearly quite absurd
