Don't Think Twice, It's All Right
Navigating Love's Crossroads: Indigo Girls' Poignant Reflection
Lyrics
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It's futile to ponder the reasons, my dear.
If you don't know by now
If you haven't figured it out by now.
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
Reflecting on why things happened is pointless.
It don't matter anyhow
Because it doesn't have any significance in the end.
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
At the crack of dawn when the rooster crows.
Look out your window and I'll be gone
Look outside, and you'll find that I've departed.
You're the reason I'm travelin' on
You are the cause of my journey.
But don't think twice, it's all right.
But don't dwell on it, everything is fine.
It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
No point in turning on your light.
It's a light I never knowed
It's a light I've never known.
It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
No use turning on your light.
I'm on the dark side of the road
I'm on the dark side of the road.
Still, I wish there was something you could do or say
Still, I wish there was something you could do or say.
To try and make me change my mind and stay
To persuade me to change my mind and stay.
We never did too much talkin' anyway
We didn't communicate much anyway.
So don't think twice, it's all right.
So, don't overthink it, everything is fine.
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, now
No use calling out my name now.
Like you've never done before
Just like you've done so many times before.
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, now
No point in calling out my name now.
I can't hear you anymore
I can't hear you anymore.
I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road
I'm pondering and wondering along the road.
I once loved a woman, a child, I'm told
I once loved a woman, a child, they say.
I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul
I gave her my heart, but she wanted my soul.
But don't think twice, it's all right.
But don't stress, everything is fine.
I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe
I'm walking down that long, lonesome road.
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
Where I'm heading, I cannot tell.
But goodbye's too good a word, babe
But "goodbye" is too optimistic, so I'll just say "Fare Thee Well."
So I'll just say "Fare Thee Well."
I'm not saying you treated me unkind.
I ain't saying you treated me unkind
You could have done better, but I don't mind.
You could have done better, but I don't mind
You just somewhat wasted my precious time.
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't overthink it, everything is fine.
But don't think twice, it's all right
Don't think too much, everything is all right.
Don't think twice, it's all right
