The Matter (of Our Discussion) Lyrics

I know it makes you feel sad
Then you look at me that way
Your hands hold on the railing
As we glide across the bay.
With everything uncertain
It's easy to defend
But we do not talk of feelings
And you know i can't pretend.
I don't believe in power of Love
I don't believe in wisdom of stone
I don't believe in a God or a Mind
And I'm not alone ...

I listen to your breathing
It's steady and it's slow.
We close tot the ceiling
I think of children in our home.
But the quiet in the quarters
Stirs me from the thought
I might leave tomorrow
To feel the joy of a new start.
I don't believe in power of Love
I don't believe in wisdom of stone
I don't believe in a God or a Mind
In the morning many sea birds
On the icy wind arrive
Never crowding their companions
Against the blinding sky they dive.
I think about you sleeping
How miss you'll miss the morning tide
But my stomach is uneasy
And I choose to stay outside.

I don't believe in power of Love
I don't believe in wisdom of stone
I don't believe in a God or the mind
I'm not alone ...
