A Riddle Beside Another Riddle Lyrics

We should have begun again.
If we knew then what we know now
We should have known what really counts
and what was unimportant, somehow.
Should have ventured cautiously,
not quickly, so abrupt,
closed our eyes, count to ten,
we should have begun again
Being together so quiet and still
Being who we are, so fulfilled,
not talking, not laughing, not crying
A riddle beside another riddle
A riddle beside another riddle

We should have begun again
Should have learned eachother's
different ways of seeing
Should have known that heart and soul
will have their way above our own well-being
We should have been more giving,
but the lessons pass too soon
Turn to Buddha, turn to Zen,
we should have begun again
Being together so quiet and still
Being who we are, so fulfilled,
not talking, not laughing, not crying
A riddle beside another riddle
A riddle beside another riddle
We should have begun again,
should have played a little more before life caught us
Should have known about the pain
to enjoy the wealth of gifts that life had brought us
To search for something to believe in,
what's a dead end, what's a door,
when to fight, when to make amends,
we should have begun again.

Being together so quiet and still
Being who we are, so fulfilled,
not talking, not laughing, not crying
A riddle beside another riddle
A riddle beside another riddle
