lyrics

Briefly

I don't know quite what to say, the words are hard to find,
Disjointed phrases blowing through my mind.

Like leaves wafting on a gentle breeze,
Carried by the currents almost within reach.

Chorus

They move too fast to catch them
A glimpse at first then none,
A tantalising image,
Briefly a false dawn.

I don't know quite what to say,
The words are spinning round,
I can't put them all together,
Or lift them off the ground.

Dandilion angels floating on the wind,
Or fairies dancing on the head of a pin,
Prepared to take flight
Before you can reel them in they are gone.
.

I don't know quite what to think,
My mind is upside down,
Each time I feel inspired
Those thoughts keep whirling round.
