Thoughts are things

Not things that disappear when your mind is closed

Or a wave of energy that fades away

Oh no, thoughts are things

They’re here to stay

So when I see you face to face

I take that vision place to place

And when I’m tired and sleeping fast

That thought is with me in my dreams

Because thoughts are things

They’re here to stay

So that thought, to me, is like a precious stone

I’ll wear it on a ring around my finger

And with every glance I take the more its lustre lingers

I don’t expect it to ever fade away

Oh no, thoughts are things,

They’re here to stay.
