Pete Atkin - Nothing Left To Say lyrics

Atkin-James The breakers from the sea that kept me sane Were clean and lucid, all along the line Like shavings tumbled upward from the plane That leave with ease the surface of the pine When the carpenter is planing with the grain It's nothing Nothing but a dream of mine And I have come to nothing in a way That leaves me with nothing left to say Half a lifetime bending with the breeze To buy the stuff I don't know how to use A deck of credit-cards, a bunch of keys A station I achieved but didn't choose The screws are on and no-one beats the squeeze It's nothing Nothing I can't bear to lose And I have come to nothing in a way That leaves me with nothing left to say The sea I dreamed of closes like a vice Parading waves are frozen into place Their veils of vapour scattering like rice And far below, the ultimate disgrace A mermaid crushed to d**h inside the ice It's nothing Nothing but a frightened face And I have come to nothing in a way That leaves me with nothing left to say
