Then There Was Nothing

Lyrics

I walked along a misty pier The water dark, the sky unclear I almost missed her standing there Half-turned, with sea-salt in her hair She moved too close and touched my head “I’m Nothing,” she turned and said “I’ve been waiting, longing for you.” And strangely now I felt it too

I found a face I knew There was nothing left to do But dissolve into her force As if I had a choice I surrender to her always With a love that can not stay There is Me and there is Nothing And may it always be that way

Then there was Nothing-her voice in the air She didn’t arrive, she was always there She pulled me apart with a whisper, a glance And gave back a soul that had lost its chance Then there was Nothing-no fear, no disguise Just love in the dark and light in her eyes No questions, no reason, no need to explain Then there was Nothing-and Nothing remains

We woke when dawn begins to breathe She spoke in truths, she opened me No promises, no binding thread- Just moments blooming in my head She sang a name I used to wear Then let it vanish in the air She kissed me once, then stepped away- As if goodbye was how she’d stay

I found a face I knew There was nothing left to do But dissolve into her force As if I had a choice I surrender to her always With a love that can not stay There is Me and there is Nothing And may it always be that way

Then there was Nothing-her voice in the air She didn’t arrive, she was always there She pulled me apart with a whisper, a glance And gave back a soul that had lost its chance Then there was Nothing-no fear, no disguise Just love in the dark and light in her eyes No questions, no reason, no need to explain Then there was Nothing-and Nothing remains

She didn’t stay, but stayed in me A quiet hum, a memory And even when she isn’t here- I know that she is always near

Then there was Nothing-her voice in the air She didn’t arrive, she was always there She pulled me apart with a whisper, a glance And gave back a soul that had lost its chance Then there was Nothing-no fear, no disguise Just love in the dark and light in her eyes No questions, no reason, no need to explain Then there was Nothing-and Nothing remains

Then there was Nothing… Then there was Nothing… Then there was Nothing
