Ruby Throat

Nothing

Ruby Throat


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

My ears are nothing
Almost ran down my eyes
And through 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
There is nothing

This love is the troubled sort
Locked into each others arms
And you better pray
That they never find you
'Cause you're back and stronger now
The burden's double fold
And 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
