If Only - The Beloved

Forgive me such idle repetition

But I’m not stirred by this competition

Too soft to be unmoved

But enough is enough

To have the power to do whatever I choose

Anything on offer is forbidden

I disgust myself, I’m too all-forgiving

What’s enjoyment, what is perfection

When you lose sight of yourself

In your failing powers of recollection?

Tomorrow’s just one day away

I said the same thing yesterday

Together whatever however forever

So why is it essential

To be calm and collected?

We all have crosses to bear

But do we all have to be resurrected?

Yes I’m sure and I try to believe

But still I want more than you would give to me

Tomorrow’s just one day away

I said the same thing yesterday

Together whatever however forever

Tomorrow’s just one day away

I said the same thing yesterday

Together whatever however forever

Together whatever however forever

Forever, ever, ever and ever
