Nothing Is Changing

(album: Pleased To Meet You - 1997)

Pistol shots and lights at dawn
And one fine day you'll find her gone
All the ghosts they come for me
Make her cry a little and cover them up

Broken clocks and bathroom tides
One fine day old mountains rise
Cupboard doors and garden gates
And deep inside some glacier waits

What in the world did I do then?

It's only late for a while
It's only scent on your skin
What in the world do I do to resist?
It's only seventy inches and where do I go?

I know nothing is changing but it's gone
It's really gone
I know it's not really life till it's gone wrong
And there must be a reason

All the lives that I forgot
And one fine day you'll find her gone
All the nights they run from me
Make her sigh a little and gather them in

And what in the world did I do then?

It's only late for a while
It's only breath on your skin
What in the world do I do to be strong?
It's only seventy inches and where do I go

I know nothing is changing
But it's gone it's really gone
I know it's not really life till it's all gone
And there must be a reason
There must be a reason
