lyrics

All In The Mind
Words & music, Calum Maccoll & Peggy Seeger

Chorus
Is there a place where everything goes
Everyone’s looking and nobody knows
Is there a way, a map or a sign
Or is it just dreaming, all in the mind
All in the mind

She lives on her own, the children are gone
They talk on the phone but they don’t talk for long
She tells herself stories, sings herself songs
Turns back the clock and tries to hold on.

Chorus
And looks for the place where everything goes
Everyone’s looking and nobody knows
Is there a way, a map or a sign
Or is it just dreaming, all in the mind
All in the mind

The days are so long, doesn’t work any more
Doesn’t know who he is, doesn’t know what he’s for
A rudderless ship, a pawn in the game
He’s losing himself but he tries just the same

Chorus
To look for the place where everything goes
Everyone’s looking and nobody knows
Is there a way, a map or a sign
Or is it just dreaming, all in the mind
All in the mind

Love, happiness, money and stuff
Whatever we have, it’s never enough
So little space and never the time
No room for the treasure we’re trying to find.

There isn’t a place where everything goes
everyone’s looking and everyone knows ...
There isn’t a way, a map or a sign
Everyone’s dreaming, it’s all in the mind.
Whatever we’re seeking and hoping to find
Is already here, all in the mind
Already here, all in the mind
