It Doesn’t Matter Anyhow
1979 - Syracuse


The world it is turning around and around
From your life to your death it is up and it’s down
Fires are burning and children are learning
That it doesn’t matter anyhow

Beauty lies deeper than the eye can see
And people are hiding from what they believe
Love it is blooming but you are still brooding
Cause it doesn’t matter anyhow

So come as you are it’s a formal affair
Please sit in the aisles or stand on the chairs
If you can’t see that it’s all done for free
Then it doesn’t matter anyhow

I would love to be with you tonight
I would love to make it work out right
I would love to hear you say out loud
It matters
It matters
Somehow

Cause the skyways and byways they don’t make a sound
And no one knows if the midwife can rebound
She’s caught in the middle of the commonly profound
Yet it doesn’t matter anyhow

For five score and Jesus saves those who compare
The rich they are starving so the poor can all share
In the misery that is to be found everywhere
So it doesn’t matter anyhow

So go on your way until you can begin
Remember that happiness must always end
It’s senseless to try to hold on to my friend
For it doesn’t matter anyhow

I would love to be with you tonight
I would love to make it work out right
I would love to hear you say out loud
That it matters
It matters
Somehow
