A Song About Nothing ©2021 Chris Conway

Here is a song about nothing,
And how it can touch your heart.
Sometimes nothing can be a beginning.
And sometimes.... it's where you start.

I want to say something,
But I've got nothing to say,
Because nothing much,
Happened today.
But I want to whisper,
Sweet nothings to you,
Cos if we've got nothing in common,
We've got nothing to lose.

(chorus)
We're all on a hiding to nothing,
And the way ahead is hard to see.
But nothing really matters,
Til something … can set you free

If you want something for nothing
You’ve come to the wrong place.
But I could spin you some nonsense,
And keep a straight face.
I've got nothing to declare,
And nothing to regret,
But if you think you know nothing,
You aint seen nothing yet.

(chorus)

(bridge)
Sometimes you’re mind can feel too narrow,
Sometimes you need to the air to clear.
Every field needs time to lie fallow,
Sometimes you need to disappear.

You came into the world with nothing,
You're taking nothing when you go.
But there is a joy to be found on the road between,
And when you find it your heart will know.
You will know, you will know.

Sometimes nothing is something.
Sometimes nothing is real.
Sometimes nothing is just,
The way that you feel.
It’s not a comfortable feeling,
Between the highs and the lows.
But you can plant something in nothing.
And sometimes it grows.

(chorus)
Set you free.

So here is a song about nothing,
And how it can be your friend.
Sometimes nothing can be a beginning.
And sometimes.... it's it's the end..
