This Love Affair Lyrics
I don't know what I'm doing
I don't know what I'm saying
I don't know why I'm watching all these white people dancing
I don't know where I'm going
But I do know that I'm walking
Where?
I don't know
Just away from this love affair
I can't say that I'm cruisin'
Not that I don't like cruisin'
Just that I'm bruisin from you
I can't say that I'm waltzin'
Not that I don't like waltzing
Would rather be waltzin' with you
So I guess that I'm going
I guess that I am walking
Where?
I don't know
Just away from this love affair
I don't know what I'm saying
I don't know why I'm watching all these white people dancing
But I do know that I'm walking
Where?
I don't know
Just away from this love affair
Not that I don't like cruisin'
Just that I'm bruisin from you
Not that I don't like waltzing
Would rather be waltzin' with you
I guess that I am walking
Where?
I don't know
Just away from this love affair

This song is such a poignant and languishing look at the up and down journey away from love lost. This is some of his best music (I love how the left hand of the piano is walking...) and the lyrics, though perhaps not as cryptic as some of his other songs, express so perfectly what anyone with a broken heart might say as he tries to come to terms with it. Bravo.
I know who I'D rather be waltzin' with..
i love this song. it's beautiful and sad and there's so much emotion and you feel like sighing just as he breaks for that second before the last stanza. like he's hopeless and you feel it.
