Not Be Found Lyrics - Seals And Crofts

You talk of love in endless riddles 

The truth is bent to fit your teeth 

Your ears hear only necessary 

Words and thoughts that make you breathe 

From out of the depths of want you wander 

Searching for familiar sound 

Of some unsuspecting sorrow 

On his way to not be found 

Like a ravel gone unnoticed 

'Til the cloth begins to tear 

One small grain of salt in water 

At first is not so hard to bear 

Out of an hour or day you're born to 

Play your harp and wear your gown 

Hiding, waiting, for the right one 

On his way to not be found, not be found 

Should our paths cross each other 

Keep my eyes fixed on the ground 

I'll keep right on walking past you 

Rather than to not be found, not be found, not be found 

To fill one's pipe with dreams of amber 

To taste the smoke is ecstasy 

But the one who claims the clouds 

Won't let you know serenity 

Lips that part with sweetened danger 

Moist with ill and evil sound 

Await their chance to take the stranger 

To the land of not be found, not be found, not be found
