lyrics

Naught For Nothing
by Ken Bewick

Time was short so we went sailing
Caught the cold and lost our bearings
Caught a wave, man we were bailing
Hang a light over the railing

Life begins in a darkened theater
Love will end like a bout of weather
Life's a lady if you met her
Love's a songbird if you let her

Once again I set a pace so fast that I could not keep up
I tumbled from the road, but you were fine with that
My fate will be my own
Secretly I hope for you to take me back

On the run but fearing nothing
Take a break, you can hear them coming
Wave your rags, it counts for something
Wave them all across your country
Everyday the forests falling
We once said it's naught for nothin
Fear the dark but cherish something
Send a thousand drummers drumming

Once again I set a pace so fast that I could not keep up
I tumbled from the road, but you were fine with that
My fate will be my own
But secretly I hope for you to take me back

It was past the hour of witching
Moonlight spilled into the kitchen
A cauldron made a pool for wishing
Ploughman says, hey, what ya missing?
Daylight comes just like the others
People find strength in numbers
I'm awake, but under cover
Rouse me if you find the wonder

Once again I set a pace so fast that I could not keep up
I tumbled from the road, but you were fine with that
My fate will be my own
Secretly I hope for you to take me back
Once again I set a pace so fast that I could not keep up
I tumbled from the road, but you were fine with that
My fate will be my own
Secretly I hope for you to take me back
