I Wonder

From the Album The Minstrel

I’m sitting in a café
Watching life go by
I know I should be moving on
But I just don’t know why
And I wonder
Look at me now while I wonder
But then I guess I’ll keep on wondering
Until the day I die

Some times I think winter
Sometimes I think of spring
Sometimes I know I should settle down
But I couldn’t take the strings
And I wonder
Look at me now while I wonder
But then I guess I’ll keep on wondering
Till I say what the day brings

I know I might look lonely
Sometimes I guess that’s true
A glass of wine or three or four
And I’m no lonlier than you
Look at me now while I wonder
But then I guess I’ll keep on wondering
Cause that’s what I do

THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG

For me, one of the greatest joys in life is sitting in an open-air café and watching the world go by. In my defence of my idleness, a lot of my songs were written and conceived in cafes and the one time in my life I did do any serious studying, it was done in a café in George Street, Hove.
