lyrics

Well I don’t have the words
For a song
Or maybe I do,
But the tune is wrong
Or maybe the tune is something
That I heard someone else sing
And if it was
It wouldn’t be the greatest thing
That I have stolen
So I don’t sing
Because I don’t have the words

And I don’t care for money
Or for fame
Or maybe I do
But it all ends the same
Or maybe it’s just something
That we don’t say out loud
And if it was well
I couldn’t hope to die as proud
As I could hope
If I could sing
If I could sing
If I only had the words

Too many times I say I will
Too many hours I hope to fill
With nothing, no not nothing,
It’s worse than nothing
When you don’t have the words

I want you to know
Why I’m here
Because I can see
It’s apparently unclear
Or maybe it’s just so you’ll know
At least I went and tried
And if I’ve failed
Well I wouldn’t be at all surprised
Because I know
I don’t sing
Because I don’t sing
Because I don’t have the words

How many time I say I will?
How many hours I hope to fill
With nothing? No, not nothing,
It’s worse than nothing
When you don’t have the words
