All The Things
(McGuinn/Levy)
See the sun how bright it is, it
never was before
See the sun it shines right through my
door but noone's there
I see warm smiles I never gave
reflection in the air
All the things I want today, all the
things I wasted on the way
See the earth how sweet it smells, I
dnot know how it feels
See the earth it sleeps beneath my heels
as I pass through
I see tears that I never shed in every
drop of dew
All the things I want today, all the
things I wasted on the way
Hear the sky singing the songs that I
could have played
Too busy talking to prove that I was not
afraid
See this dried up broken straw turning
into rock
See this dried up broken straw forgotten
and left behind
and see deeds that I never done are
flowing in the wine
All the things I want today, all the
things I wasted
All the things I want today, all the
things I wasted
All the things I want today, all the
things I wasted on the way
