Wouldn't You Love to Know?
by Steve Bell

Album: Wouldn't You Love to Know?

If you have to love the truth
Just to know if it is true
Wouldn't you love to know?

If the essence of a thing
Begs to hear your tender wooing
Wouldn't you love to know?

If you can't know a part
Without delighting in the whole
Wouldn't you love to know?

If you'd never know a kiss
Without first cherishing the soul
Wouldn't you love to know?

To know as you are known
Merely love as you are loved
Gently turn this fertile loam
To unearth the fragrance of
the lover's drug

From the far cloud-hidden star
To the solitary bug
Wouldn't you love to know

Frankenstein and Faust are yet the rage
Unspeakable the severing damage done
Yet on the wind the distant sound of drum
And the sweetness of the sage
Still might come a kinder age

See the wonder-stricken child
Hear the elder's wizened song
Wouldn't you love to know?
Wouldn't you love to know?
Wouldn't you love to know?
