Clearly Quite Absurd

Deep Purple · Rapture Of The Deep [2005]

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
