lyrics

I Can’t Tell You

When I look back
To a place that
Lives in my mind
It was part of my life

Rainy days and
Funny ways and
Being crushed on the underground lines

Worker’s cafes with
Chips and mash
You put on the sauce
No matter what you had

I remember
Each September
Not wanting to go
back to school again

But I can’t tell you
Why I’m feeling this way
All that I know is what I want now so I have to say
And I don’t know why Im thinking today
That my life has been a circle just spinning away

In my school days
It was fun but also cruel
I had a friend back then
Now he’s gone but
Forever
We stuck together
He was on my side

College Free Days
Love and Peace Days
Playing my guitar
I was finding myself

First Love and
The first hurt
But at that time
It seemed it was all that I had

But I can’t tell you
Why I’m feeling this way
All that I know is what I want now so I have to say
And I don’t know why Im thinking today
That my life has been a circle just spinning away

To find what is right
To find what is right

When I think back
To those days
Theres’ just one thing that I now understand

Life’s a circle
Love is the center
For love after all
Is where it all began
