Beethoven’s Delight Lyrics by P.F. Sloan

(Still on the) Eve of Destruction

0

[Verse 1]
One of us was saying
It's Beethoven's delight
One hand holds a candle
The other holds a knife
And before the night is over
Seven sisters kiss the sky above
I will use one or the other
In the name of love
[Chorus 1]
Yes, I will, I will, I will, I will
I will, I will, I swear it
None of what they see is so
In fact my heart can't bear it
So I do my finger exercise
Deaf to the higher meaning of our lives
And still I think that it's alright
[Verse 2]
One of us was saying
Only silence holds the truth
In between each note I'm playing
The soul can hear the proof
One of us was praying
What can I do, what can I do?
A hidden angel whispered
"To thine own self be true"
[Chorus 2]
Yes, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I swear it
None of what they hear is so
In fact my heart can't bear it
Though I've done it all a thousand times
The endless repetition in our lives
And still I feel life's a delight
Beethoven
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus 1]
Yes, I will, I will, I will, I will
I will, I will, I swear it
Everything they said is true
But now I just don't care it
So I do my finger exercise
Deaf to the higher meaning of our lives
And still I think that it's alright
[Verse 3]
One of us was laughing
At shadows on the wall
And to me they looked like lovers
I wondered if you'll call
On the mirror were two question marks
In red lipstick as I recall
If you put them both together
They'll make one heart is all
[Chorus 2]
Yes, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I swear it
I'm only wishing for your kiss
In fact my heart can't bear it
Though I've done it all a thousand times
The endless repetition in our lives
And still I feel life's a delight
Beethoven
