Quiet Thinker

(Verse 1)
I see children on their paper rounds
And old folk walking their wives
The silence makes me wonder
What is left in my life?

I lost my baby here
It never works out
I seem to meet the quiet thinker
Who never thinks aloud

(Verse 2)
Lately things don’t seem the same
And it’s getting to my head
Quiet thinker on my mind
As if my mind is being read

(Chorus)
Why do I do this to myself?
Why do I do this to myself?
Why do I do this to my health?
Why do I do this to myself?

(Verse 3)
Her sweet blue eyes are glistening
All to my surprise
I always end up wondering
How she could tell such lies

Stand by me sweetheart
And take my hand
All these dreams are dead now
It’s him I can’t stand

(Verse 4)
I dreamt a perfect world
And you were there to be seen
If love has lost all its meaning
Then invent a new word for me

(Chorus)
Why do I do this to everyone?
My life shot down by the gun
Why do I do this to myself?
I can’t hold on, I can’t hold on
