Writing On The Wall Lyrics - Terry Reid

I can see the writing on the wall 

Underdeciphered messages to us 

Thoughts of long forgotten people 

Fading away, getting vaguer day by day 

Each hiding a secret that 

Not one will declare 

I see the writing 

I see that none of it is read up unto to me 

I'm the exception 

Said no one stopped to write a doggone thing about me, hey hey well 

Now that I know 

Well the wall could tell a tale or two 

Maybe some of me or some of you 

Everybody listening carefully 

But not enough that sometime you wrote a lie 

A cliche upon our door 

Or did you write more 

I see the writing 

I see that none of it is read up unto to me 

I'm the exception 

I said no one ever gets to write a thing about me, well 

Now that I know
