Nearly All the Time

I wondered
Yes I wondered
Nearly all the time
Will the trees get any taller
In about an hours time
I always wanted the best for you
But now you've slipped away
Tomorrow holds the future
I'm stuck in yesterday

sadness was a virtue
That I always swept aside
Now it's catching up with me
And I don't have the time
Love can make a man see
And love can make him blind
I just kept my eyes closed
And I ran from the ties that bind

there's people want to close this factory
They want to close my mind
Those people have got no direction
They can't read the signs

I listened to the teacher
I listened to the priest
I only learned what I wanted to learn
Only believed what I want to believe
