The Philosopher Lyrics

The philosopher

Stands on the edge looking down

And he asks himself

Am I at the top or bottom now

The philosopher

Lets his beard grow to the ground

And he asks himself

Am I through the worst or am I missing out

How can he love you

When nothing is true

How can you see him

When he can't see you

You are the answer

He cannot accept

He's always looking

For questions instead

Always on his mind

Never in his heart

The philosopher

Has a lot of doubts

He can't calm himself

With the words of a man in the clouds

The philosopher

Finds it hard to tell

If he belongs in heaven or hell

How can he love you

When nothing is true

How can you see him

When he can't see you

You are the answer

He cannot accept

He's always looking

For questions instead

Always on his mind

Never in his heart

He'll let you know

When he finds the answer

He'll let you know

When his bones are clean

He'll tell you stories of all the wonders

He has never seen

How can he love you

When nothing is true

How can you see him

When he can't see you

You are the answer

He cannot accept

He's always looking

For questions instead

The philosopher

Is counting grains of rice

Playing chess with the passing of time

The philosopher

Lets his life go by

Always on his mind

Never in his heart

Always on his mind

Never in his heart
