"I don't know (and I don't want to know)" - original song on baritone and tenor ukuleles.

Recorded for Ukulele Underground competition, "For Your Ears Only" 25/3/24

A certain look in a certain light,
a nagging doubt when you know you're right.
A threat of rain in a clear blue sky,
your father always said you have your mother's eyes.

A hint of laughter in your voice,
a knowing wink to all the boys.
A crazy streak about a mile wide,
your mother said you got that from your father's side.

(chorus)
And do you feel,
when you think of all of the love you've lost
and the friends you've known,
that it's easier to be alone?
And do you believe,
there's a light inside, there's a hand that guides you in everything?
You say, "I don't know. And I don't want to know"

Summer friends all headed south,
weekends at your grandma's house.
A photograph in a silver frame,
you and your sister always dressed the same

(repeat chorus)
(bridge)
"'cos today was a good day.
Tonight you might hear me say,
tomorrow I could find the will to start again."

(solo)
(repeat chorus)
(repeat bridge)

A wish you made on a shooting star,
a stolen kiss in a borrowed car.
In another lifetime, a world away,
with the pet name that your brother gave you...

(outro)

Kala 8 string baritone, Collings tenor, vocals, little bit of GarageBand piano at the end.
