Nothing Here For Me lyricsOn The Lost Album (Late 1980s - unreleased)
Nothing Here For Me (Verity Truman) She puts her fire from driftwood on a beach called paradise And fed the flames with memories burned into his eyes He looked out on the moonlight waves that break against the night Break like promises In the coals he saw a boy who lived beside the sea A lonely surfer, fishing boats, a place of wild beauty He heard the circling birds above, laughter filled the world A world of promises There's nothing here for me The damage of a lifetime cuts its name into the tree There's nothing here for me But to watch the empire rise, fall into the sea Streets of junk, the chilling sound of people killing time Shiny beads and mirror toys empty hearts will pay no mind Wild hearts crack gamblers corner meet and real estate Sold with promises There's nothing here for me The damage of a lifetime cuts its name into the tree There's nothing here for me But to watch the empire rise, fall into the sea Come to see the sunbirds on a beach called paradise The sun no longer touched the sand the high-rise sacrifice Long shadows fall on choking streets paved with broken glass Bought with promises There's nothing here for me The damage of a lifetime cuts its name into the tree There's nothing here for me But to watch the empire rise and fall into the sea |
