lyrics

sometimes I wonder
if I know how to be
sometimes I wonder
if God's smiling on me

the summer sun is
slowly sinking
shadows climbing
up my picket fence
the buzz of a beehive
the crash of a wave
a kettle on the boil
it all gets so intense

a long and lonely season
I try to find the reason
for the mixed up dreams and soliloquies
that keep me company

for a moment
maybe an hour or two
the dark starts creeping
I can't help but think of you

the tide keeps rising
the bees are droning on
I wonder who'll greet me
when I reach Abaddon
the beast is brooding
just like yesterday
all of a sudden
the fog has boiled away

I've got clarity of purpose
and purity of essence
there's no defect in my mind this time
I find deliverance
and I'm free

for a moment

sometimes I wonder
