Virtue - Jim Guthrie

When we talk virtue

It doesn’t seem all that bad

If i keep talking cool

The future turns out as the past

Passed the point of making sense

I’ve got it

The last virtue I heard

Was something 'bout the songsinging birds

Or something 'bout bird is the word

Words are all I’ve heard

No meaning for this now

Birds don’t know the words

It’s a sweet song anyhow

And I could sing what you say all day

We resolve, we resolve in our own way

And you refuse to fade away

I long to hear you say

Where do we go from here?

When we talk virtue

It doesn’t seem all that bad

If I keep talking cool

The future turns out as the past
