CONUNDRUM OF TIME

Ralph McTell

This union is soldered by where she ???????????
I feel from the strength of the floor for the seem
That folks with a passion the whispers at tea
And the fists full of doubts wrap round bottles of beer

Shouldn't you be dancing
Shouldn't I make rhymes
There's music all around us
In this conundrum of time
But as so many notes now
Please find a tune
Please find the harmony
Please find it soon

Well the bucket hits rocks at a foot of the well
But they're opening up down at the Hotel
And there at the bar there is some sort of truce
Well I think that I get lucid but you say that I get loose.

But shouldn't you be dancing
Shouldn't I make rhymes
There's music all around us
In this conundrum of time
But as so many notes now
Please find a tune
Please find the harmony
Please find it soon

You mimic my poem so I oafishly dance
Between chairs and tables there's the breaking of glass
As I call you a flirt, and then you call me a fake
We're both prisoners of love in this war that we make

Shouldn't you be dancing
Shouldn't I make rhymes
There's music all around us
In this conundrum of time
But as so many notes now
Please find a tune
Please find the harmony
Please find it soon

Yes we go up back home as we tumble upstairs
The ???????in distress?????????? ends up less

Shouldn't you be dancing
Shouldn't I make rhymes
There's music all around us
In this conundrum of time
But as so many notes now
Please find a tune
Please find the harmony
Please find it soon
