I Don't Mind

Out by the desolate shore The waves come in with a roar The children are playing Throwing stones in the water Dogs are chasing The seagulls are flickering, bickering, bickering, bickering Horses are out in the pasture Seeing who’s running faster And inside the house a young girl is sewing What a peaceful scene Like a faded dream It all looks like a sepia photograph I don’t mind If you live in my mind I’m happy to keep you there And that’s fine, oh you You’re all that I like And my imagination’s clear, ooh ooh, ooh The sun shines bright on the water I walk with my daughter And the whole world is shimmering, shimmering, shimmering I hear a church bell ring With a kind of lilt and swing Just then the noise of the planes is shattering, shattering, shattering Out by the desolate shore By the marshy moor The children were playing Horses are out in the pasture Saddled up for the master Meanwhile the clouds are gathering, gathering, gathering, gathering I don’t mind If you live in my mind I’m happy to keep you there And that’s fine, oh you You’re all that I like And my imagination’s clear, ooh And even though you’re just a figment Of my thoughts, I’m still loving every segment And my imagination got me desperate And you’ve already took away my next breath Which means I’m doomed from the outset 'Cause I’m in love without an outlet Which means I can’t make no progress Means my ambitions are hopeless I want to wrap around you like a necklace But I can’t, so you got me moving reckless To you I’d rather give more and take less 'Cause you make me want to conquer every conquest I’m trying to tell you that I love you from the longest I’m trying to tell you that my loving is the strongest I’m trying to tell you that sweet dreams are made of me And who are you to disagree? I, I don’t mind If you live in my mind I’m happy to keep you there And that’s fine, oh you You’re all that I like And my imagination’s clear I don’t mind If you, you live in my mind I’m happy to keep you there And that’s fine, oh you Happy to, happy to keep you there
