You Don't Need Me to Tell You - Piano Magic

You don’t need me to tell you

That there’s nothing after this

That nothing came before now

That’s just the way it is

Any mark you think you leave here

Well, it will perish with the flesh

The purpose of this sorry life

Well, that’s anybody’s guess

And yet we persevere

Like flowers on the tide

The choice is seldom mentioned

The choice is set aside

For once its name is spoken

It enters by the heart

It haunts the empty chambers

And it pulls the heart apart

You’re sound of mind and body

But I’ve watched you from afar

Your rationale is fading

It’s fading like a star

Amongst these constellations

You always found the hope

But now I see a worried man

Behind the telescope

I’d like to say I’ve evidence

The proof that all men seek

But I’m as lost as anyone

The spirit, it is weak

You don’t need me to tell you

That there’s nothing after this

That nothing came before now

That’s just the way it is
