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
