Idle Mind

Strange talkings I have heard

Strange warnings I've been told

By whom

Made a bed of rain to cradle you

Wrapped in words to keep you warm

Side by side, in the night we lie

Must you hold your tongue, dear friend of mine

Once we were and twice we came

And the following wind couldn’t catch our names

Take the lead with your marching feet

Gathering speed with every word you speak

Oh marching feet

For I have held a troubled dream

Traced the tracks of this well-worn theme

Idle mind Idle eyes

A heavy heart I’m sure to find

For every silent mind a silent shout

Mark my words a secret sound by whom by whom by whom

Leaves me cold inside, leaves me cold inside...

Oh idle mind
