It's a feeling i don't welcome . but it's coming on anyway Seems like every time i meet it . got a little bit less to say I can't stand the questions . but i ask them anyway Easy never came easy to me Must life be this way? life must be this way Never a soft feeling i've known Is it unison or harmony?. or some weird in-between? I sense dissonance in symmetry . do you know what i mean? There's a tension in my radar, . in the colors of the day Is there meaning in that tension or is life just that way? Seek vitality of tenderness and apply it to my self In a gentle conversation with someone i love very much Never a soft feeling i've known My heaven is a blandness A stillness of the mind Even hidden right in plain view It's still so hard to find Yet they find it in Los Angeles Where the dream is as wet as rain And they find it in old virginia Where the song remains the same How it used to make me jealous Now it kind of turns me on Let the feeling be so spacious That there's room for everyone Into the feeling unknown Theres a sickness in my country I can feel it in my heart And i know i am a part of it Though i keep myself apart Plese don't let them outlaw silence That is where peace likes to grow Let vitality of tenderness Live with all that we don't know Into the feeling unknown Never a soft feeling i've known
