Philosophers Waltz

This is a song about nothin’ ‘Cause I don’t have nothin’ to say And now’s not the time to not say it That’s why I’m here singin’ today The new days lay so far behind us The past stretches out up ahead The ancient prophets have spoken But we ain’t heard a word that they said You can’t tell nobody nothin’ ‘Cause that’s all that anyone knows But you love to hear what you’re made of That’s why you’re at all of my shows Believin’ and seein’ ain’t knowin’ Knowledge ain’t necessarily so’s But I believe that I know that I love you ‘Cause that’s just the way the song goes I wrote this song about nothin’ ‘Cause nothin’ is somethin’ to most And that’s why we’re singin’ and dancin’ This waltz with the Philosopher’s ghost July 18, 2020
