Misunderstanding as sung by Sneezy Waters
                                 (Hawkins)

I don’t know what I could ever say to you,
You twist and change everything that I try to do.
And now there’s a burning in my mind
And no way out of it that I can find.
And I don’t want what is not mine,
Though I burn for it all the time.

I sleep through the morning waiting for the night
Following the moonrise surrounded by the light.
How could I lead you when I just don’t know the way?
I face the mirrors with no wise words to say.
And I don’t want what is not mine,
Though I burn for it all the time.

So since I’ve given up trying to be kind
Now that I’m leaving, I hope that you won’t mind.
But it’s just too late to change my plans.
Maybe I’ve traded futures with an unknown man.
And I will tell you for the last time,
That I burn for you all the time.
