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
