Don't You Think Too Much - Greg Brown

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
