Nothing - Lyrics by Heather Nova


Lyrics
The truth comes over me
Like wine, like summer heat
The world, it moves too fast
I miss my simple past
And I can see
For all the things I think I need
Brother take me out to where the reef ends
Where there's only, only green sea
Brother take me out to where the reef ends
I only want to want
Nothing
Child, she knows it's good
She plays the way she should
Her days, they taste like lime
She moves in perfect time
And I can see
For all the things I think I need
Brother take me out to where the reef ends
Where there's only, only green sea
Brother take me out to where the reef ends
I only want to want
Nothing, nothing, no
There's no promises
Today is all there is
And I can't see
For all the things I think I need
Brother take me out to where the reef ends
Where there's only, only green sea
Brother take me out to where the reef ends
I only want to want
Nothing, oh nothing, nothing
