less than is useful
but more than i should
how i wish that i could,
how i wish that i could

spy the midnight scowl
through the fools golden leaves
hear the dark moon's howl
as the fireflies grieve
and together we'll float
in a boat
down the stream,
and i'll do what i please
yes, i'll do what i please

less than is useful
but more than we should
how i wish that we could
how i wish that we could

let it never be said
that to love proves you're good
but i think that we should
yes, i think that we should
