so this is the place

no reason to reflect on what's gone by
the path will lead eventually to town
your wisdom tells you all roads lead you down

what's in the distance is always a lie
only a loser could refuse the crown
no reason to reflect on what's gone by

those are not pigeons in the evening sky
nor will we ask just what is true renown
there are some times when it is best to frown
no reason to reflect on what's gone by
