AND YET by Susan Barth

Lyrics

And Yet

Don’t really want too much
Never ever ask for more than anything
I feel that I should get
And yet
The deal is sometimes bad
It’s sometimes very good
And sometimes I will just plain forget
And yet

Watch it all just spin around
Like ferris wheels in little towns
Wondering when it’s time to quit
Wishing we could stay all day
Like little children but they say
It’s time to go you know you’ll never fit

Back in time we see
High school memories
Wishing there were things we could forget
And yet
Once homecoming queen
Captain of the team
Thinking that our lives were really set
And yet

Watch it all just spin around
Like ferris wheels in little towns
Wondering when it’s time to quit
Wishing we could stay all day
Like little children but they say
It’s time to go you know you’ll never fit

Bridge
Oh roller coasters, bigger motors, a better life
Famous friends make better plans, a bigger strike
Oh are we thinking twice…

Little can we do
To stop this attitude
Of fear and fun and things that we regret
And yet
The bad is never good
The good’s misunderstood
There’s sympathy for those we’ve never met
And yet

Watch it all just spin around
Like ferris wheels in little towns
Wondering when it’s time to quit
Wishing we could stay all day
Like little children but they say
It’s time to go you know you’ll never fit
It’s time to go you know you’ll never fit
We’ll never fit
