an evil kind of sorrow

makes me wait until tomorrow

for what i really want today

the sadness in the picture

makes it look much richer

than what i wanted it to say



believe it if you like

you might as well be trying

as doing nothing here at all

sleeping in the night

you might as well be trying

as doing nothing here at all



even in the evenings

i've got time to pick and choose

who i would like to be my friend

and one will always be here

love will last forever

we are forever to the end



believe it if you like

you might as well by trying

as doing nothing here at all

sleeping in the night

you might as well be trying

as doing nothing here at all

you do nothing here at all



a candle on the mantlepiece

it's evidence to show

the kind of things i like to see

you can take it as a warning

to keep the fire burning

when the singer goes away with me



there has to be a river

i saw it in a dream

i know exactly where i'm going

i know exactly where i've been



whisper in the open breeze

you like the clouds i love the trees

candelabra wait for me

this is not an easy way

to do the things you have to say

"i love you will you stay with me?"



believe it if you like

you might as well be trying

as doing nothing here at all

you won't always get it right

but you might as well be trying

as doing nothing here at all

you do nothing here at all
