"Clearly Quite Absurd" lyrics

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 your 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 this 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 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 a strange thought occurred
I feel that I should tell you that it's clearly quite absurd
