I Told You I Couldn't Stop

Oh, in my mind's eye, a plantation In the clearing is a platform station In the distance is a kingdom Into the front line is how I'm coming They say in war all is fair I am headed to the field In spite of my condition Whatever you thought Whatever you thought You know I told you I couldn't stop, I couldn't stop Through the desert, out to the sea Weather beaten through all four seasons And there is love in my creation I've come back for all the right reasons That ain't your castle You're not a queen, that isn't yours That you're so busy there protecting Whatever you thought Whatever you thought You know I told you I couldn't stop Whatever you thought Whatever you thought You know I told you I couldn't stop, I couldn't stop All this beauty is sticky sweet This naughty world is due for a good deed Give me your poor tired huddled masses Bring me the head of a mule and my glasses Sing that lonesome high melody Rumble young men But hobble behind me Whatever you thought Whatever you thought You know I told you I couldn't stop Whatever you thought Whatever you thought You know I told you I couldn't stop, I couldn't stop I couldn't stop, I couldn't stop
