Time, hugs me like a cloud
I don't know what it's all about
But I feel so lost
The stars, stare at me from space
Then ask me to my face
"Why you gotta cry through life?"
And I don't know how to tell 'em
That I don't know much 'bout anything
Oh my feelings flow like water
I can't tell them what to do
And oh I wish I had the answers
To all these subtle mysteries
But I don't know where to find 'em
And I wouldn't know where to start
The birds, sing to me at night
And as I turn on the light
I wonder why they're up so late
They stop, and peek into my room
Tell me that it's noon
And why am I in bed so late?
And I don't know how to tell 'em
That I don't know much 'bout anything
Oh my feelings flow like water
I can't tell them what to do
And oh I wish I had the answers
So I could teach you everything
But I don't know where to find 'em
And I wouldn't know where to start
The ants, all marching in a row
Just going with the flow
Ask me why I'm out of line
The trees, just blowin' in the wind
Ask me with a grin
"What's it mean to be on time?"
And I don't know how to tell 'em
That I don't know much 'bout anything
Oh my feelings flow like water
I can't tell them what to do
And oh I wish I had the answers
So I could teach you everything
But I don't know where to find 'em
And I wouldn't know where to start
