The decision I took today
Took up half of the day
The decision I took yesterday
Was exactly the same in this way

I would be better and wiser
I would be simpler, patient and gay
Break off all the bonds that destroyed me
I would certainly not wallow in misery

But the day dragged on endlessly
I was no longer so sure of myself
I took all my plans and decisions
And put them away on a dusty shelf.
