Lyrics:

I was lying on the floor of playground,
You were chasing off a kid with a greyhound,
I remember thinking you're the coolest girl I know,
You were swinging from the seating rafters,
It fell around you in a halo of plaster,
I don't go to hospitals, I let you go alone,
I had my reasons at the time,
I had my reasons at the time,
Something in the state of mind,
Oh, everlasting light,
Why's your father always calling me out, yeah,
There's a saying in the English south,
'You have to put your mind in gear before you drive your mouth,
I got to thinking of...????
I found the poweder in the funeral house,
I know that blessed conjugal, I could not be alone,
I had my reasons at the time,
I had my reasons at the time,
Something in the state of mind,
I had my reasons at the time,
I had my reasons at the time,
Something in the state of mind,
Oh, everlasting light,
I had my reasons at the time,
I had my reasons at the time,
Something in the state of mind,
I had my reasons at the time,
I had my reasons, yeah
Something in the state of mind,
Oh, everlasting light,
