Nothing Lyrics







Hey, momma, when you leave

Don't leave a thing behind

I don't want nothing

Can't use nothing



Take care into the hole

And if you see my friend

Tell him I'm fine

Not using nothing



Almost burnt down my eyes

And threw my ears down to the floor

I didn't see nothing

I didn't hear nothing



I stood there like a block of stone

Knowing all I had to know

And nothing more

Man, that's nothing



I pray



As lovers our troubles are

Locked in each other's arms

And you better pray

That they never find you



'Cause your back ain't strong enough

The burden's double fold

They crush you down

Down into nothing



Being born is going blind

Bow down a thousand times

Echo strong

A pure temptation



Sorrow and solitude

These are the precious things

Beyond our words

That are worth remembering



Sorrow and solitude

These are the precious things

Beyond our words

That are worth remembering
