Understand

(album: Timeless Flight - 1976)

Shall I begin from here to tell everything?
Relinquish honour in order to make it ring?
You'd have to make me promise
You won't expect too much from this
You'll just be happy with the gold that I bring

We've been playing cat and mouse now for far too long
I can't let it simmer and just go gruelling on
I have to make my move
I've still got so much to prove
You can't imagine the life that I've had

If I could put the words together
If I could put the words together
If I could put, put the words together
You'd understand

You've been a magnet stuck in my memory
I'd hide if I could but I'm red in a yellow sea
Consider me lost in aspic
I'd give in but that's not my schtick
You'll haunt me forever, I know that you will

If I could put the words together
If I could put the words together
If I could put, put the words together
You'd understand

Shall I begin from here to tell everything?
Relinquish honour in order to make it ring?
You'd have to give me promise
You won't expect too much from this
You'll just be happy with the gold that I bring

If I could put the words together
If I could put the words together
If I could only put the words together
You'd understand

If I could, if I could, if I could...
