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
