Something I can't say

I guess that every song I wrote
about you and you and you
was about me and me alone
that's what songwriters do

but then again the house I've built
and every dream I saw through
all my longing all my will
always came back to you

         I've been thinking wondering
         what we're gonna do
         I've been thinking wondering
         what we are upto
         I've been thinking wondering
         'bout what's left for us to do

Finally all the bloody pain
every nightmare, every dream
was for something beyond rain
and wind and all I've seen

the tale of god and you and me
of songs and old father time
of joy and hope and misery
is too hard to put in rhyme

      refr.
              something I can't say
              happening most any day
              a wave of emotion
              the earth's magic potion
              a woman bending
              over letters she's sending
              a child calling
              to a leaf that is falling
              something I can't say
              happening most any day.
