If Only

(álbum: Where It Is - 1987)

Oh please, forgive me, such idle repetition
But I am not stirred by this competition
Too soft to be unmoved
But enough is enough to have the power to do whatever I choose

Anything on offer is forbidden
Oh, I disgust myself, I'm too all-forgiving
What's enjoyment, what is perfection?
When you lose sight of yourself
In your failing powers of recollection?

Oh, but tomorrow's just one day away
I said the same thing yesterday
Together, whatever, however, forever

Oh, so why is it essential
To be calm and collected?
We all have crosses to bear
But do we all have to be resurrected?
Yes I'm sure and I try to believe
But still I want more than you would give to me

Oh, but tomorrow's just one day away
I said the same thing yesterday
Together, whatever, however, forever
Tomorrow's just one day away
I said the same thing yesterday
Together, whatever, however, forever
Together, whatever, however, forever
Forever, forever, forever and ever
