The Equation
That was yesterday not today
You called i answered here i am
My voice as clear as any stream
Such an easy equation then
You called i answered here i am
Not wanting to contain the dark
For stars were twinkling the most
That i had ever seen before
My voice as clear as any stream
Who would want a babbling brook
Is shadow so encompassing
That thou needst to look to the moon
Such an easy equation then
One plus one eleven too you
Standing side by side is the dare
You never learned to comprehend
