TOO MUCH - JMT's song

Ghost of John Murphy

From the CD
VOICES by GHOST OF JOHN MORPHY

I’ve heard too much. I’ve seen too much
Don’t ask me any questions because I know too much
I’ve read too much. I’ve written too much

Consider the lilies of the field
I know exactly how they feel
But my mom told me to be like the ant
Not like the sluggard, the grasshopper
But the grasshopper is like the lily

Oh, what good is what I know

We spend too much. We hurry too much
We save too much. We worry too much

When I was fourteen I knew everything
I was blessed by the bounty of a strait-A brain
You couldn’t fool me and I wouldn’t fool you
Now I know so much I don’t know what to do

I’ve found too much. I’ve lost too much
Don’t ask me any questions because I know too much
I hurt too much. I cry too much

I eat too much. I sleep too much
Don’t ask me any questions because I know too much
I’ve given too much and I’ve taken too much.
