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
