Текст песни Reflections on the Mirth of Creativity - Billy Bragg

Woke up this mornin' there was somethin' dawnin' on me
Something I'd never seen, someone I'd never been
Came down for coffee and I could not find
Where I'd left my troubled mind

Opened the windows and the day blew in
It was fresh and new and it caressed my skin
It set me reelin', it was such a feelin'
That it made me smile for the first time in a long while

But don't ask me how
I just don't know
Don't ask me why
I've got nothin' to do but smile

And when I hit the street, felt light on my feet
Like if I triеd, I just might fly
And every single facе I see
Had a smile for me like I was royalty or somethin'

The sun was shinin' on the avenue
And the shadows knew just what to do
They kinda parted as I walked on by
And the clouds went off to some other part of the sky

But don't ask me how
I just don't know
Don't ask me why
I've got nothing to do but smile

When I walked up to a traffic light
And to my delight it was set just right
I didn't even have to break my pace
It was like I owned the whole damn place

And all the birds were singin' in the trees
I was hearin' some amazing melodies
Before I knew it, I was whistlin' along
So I sat right down and I wrote this song

But don't ask me how
I just don't know
Don't ask me why
I've got nothing to do but smile
