The Awareness Of Nothing

(álbum: The Happiest Girl In The Whole U.S.A. - 1972)

Something tells me the green in the leaves on that tree hasn't changed
And I know that the pictures on that wall has been perfectly arranged
I look backwards and forwards and try to recaptured it all
This awareness of nothing is driving me straight up the wall

I can vaguely remember the rhythm of the sunshine and rain
When we learn that the happy goes only as deep as the pain
And making up made the pain of growing up were the fighting I'd recall
And we traded all this for this Ol' Awareness Of Nothing At All

On my face there's a space for the place where a smile used to live
And in my heart there's a beat that forgot that ever learned how to give
In the back of my mind there's a love I keep trying recall
But there's somewhere beneath this Ol' Awareness Of Nothing At All

We try changing by cheating and I've got it all of the pain
But you can't feel the sun from the sunshine and not feel the wet from the rain
I'm in practice made perfect for thou were to train
This awareness of nothing for the blindfold of love any day

La la la
La la la
I look backwards and forwards and try to recapture it all
This awareness of nothing is driving me straight up the wall
La la la
La la la
La la la
