Deep Purple - Clearly Quite Absurd Lyrics

After all we said today, the strangest thought occurred
I feel I ought to tell you, but it's clearly quite absurd
Wouldn't it be wonderful, If you could read my mind
Imagine all the stuff we could leave behind

How many words you waste before you're understood
Or simply sow some seeds, you'd do it if you could
Let me take a moment of your time
Inside you mind

I know what you're thinking, but I don't know what to say
The turmoil and the conflict, you don't have to feel this way
Look into my eyes and feel my hand upon your heart
Holding us together, not tearing us apart

How many words we waste to justify a crime
Compare it to an act of love, that really takes no time
Why not take a moment to unwind
Inside your mind

How many words I've wasted you don't want to here
Why not sit in silence, while the muddy walls clear
Why not take a moment to unwind
Inside your mind

After all we said today, the strangest thought occurred
I feel I ought to tell you, but it's clearly quite absurd
