You Don't Need Me To Tell You Lyrics

Piano Magic You Don't Need Me To Tell You

You don't need me to tell you
That there's nothing after this
That nothing came before now
And that's just the way it is
Any mark you think you leave here
Well, it will perish with the flesh
The purpose of this sorry life
Well, that's anybody's guess
And yet we persevere
Like flowers on the tide
The choice is seldom mentioned
The choice is set aside
For once its name is spoken
It enters by the heart
It haunts the empty chambers
And it pulls the heart apart
You're sound of mind and body
But I've watched you from afar
Your rationale is fading
It's fading like a star
Amongst these constellations
You always found the hope
But now I see a worried man
Behind the telescope

I'd like to say I've evidence
The proof that all men seek
But I'm as lost as anyone
The spirit, it is weak
You don't need me to tell you
That there's nothing after this
That nothing came before now
And that's just the way it is
