Nobody

(album: All Of It Was Mine - 2011)

In the air, first scent of snow
All along the ground, the last milkweed silk blows
Nobody's ever gonna tell you what they don't want to know
No, nobody's ever gonna tell you, for they wish it was not so
Better not to know

It was hard won, but I found my place
It was hard won, but I found my place
And all I could wish upon you is the same thing
It was hard won, but I found my place

And as soon as it's found, I knew it would change
I turned around and everything was strange
Nobody's ever gonna tell you, for they wish it weren't the case
Once lost, not a trace

But you could find yourself down by a lake
About as wide and still as you can take
With a gladness you just can't shake
Down by that cold, clear lake
