Lyrics Don't You Think Too Much - Greg Brown

Don't You Think Too Much

Just one look at you, and I can see where you are
Ah, you’re down in the blue hole;
no one knows how far
Oh-o-o-o, little darlin'
Show me the right touch
I know how it all can spin around like a computer gone mad
Bad times and the past times and all the trouble that you have
Oh-o-o-o-o, little darlin'
Don’t you think too much
Some people think they’re gonna do themselves and this world a lot of good
By thinkin' 'bout their whole gig 'til it’s all well understood
But oh-o-o, little darlin'
All around this little world there’s a hush
One little child, one little child in just one day
Brightens up this whole universe in such a special way
So oh-o-o-o, little darlin'
Don’t you think too much
Too many people too soon, ah, you know they’re gonna wake up dead
To find they spent their whole lives just knockin' 'round in their head
Oh-o-o-o, little darlin'
Where we’re goin' there ain’t no rush
This world will abuse you, confuse you and lose you, it’s true
You gotta get down to your instincts if you’re, if you’re gonna make it
Hrough
So oh-o-o-o little darlin'
Don’t you think too much
Well, it may sound like about the craziest thing that you have ever heard
Ah, but you just can’t think too much if you’re gonna sing just like a bird
Oh-o-o little darlin'
You can’t fly if you clutch
If you don’t step outside of it, ah, you can’t see that it’s whole
I ain’t tryin' to tell you nothin' but what I, what I say to my own soul
I say oh-o-o-o little darlin'
Don’t you think too much
Yeah, I say Oh-o-o-o… little darlin'
Don’t you think too much
