Quotes Note: All songs written by Justin Hayward, except as noted. Days of Future Passed (1967) Tuesday afternoon.I'm just beginning to see, now I'm on my way.It doesn't matter to me, chasing the clouds away.Something, calls to me,The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why?Those gentle voices I hear, explain it all with a sigh.I'm looking at myself reflections of my mind,It's just the kind of day to leave myself behind,So gently swaying through the fairyland of love.If you'll just come with me you'll see the beauty ofTuesday afternoon, Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday Afternoon Nights in white satinNever reaching the endLetters I've writtenNever meaning to send.Beauty I've always missed, with these eyes before,Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore. Nights in White Satin Cold hearted orb that rules the night,Removes the colours from our sight.Red is grey and yellow white,But we decide which is rightAnd which is an Illusion. Late Lament, written by Graeme Edge A Question of Balance (1970) Why do we never get an answerWhen we're knocking at the doorWith a thousand million questionsAbout hate and death and war?
