Nothing But Nothing Lyrics by Steve Walsh

Black Butterfly

2017

[Intro]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
[Verse 1]
Sleep, my dearest
This day is done
Vicarious mirrors
My daughter, my son
Heaven is trembling
Abel did too
Suffer my children
It's all I can do
[Verse 2]
Sleep, my dearest
Nameless is fate
Dawn brings the warrior
Bearing the bait
Rest on your memories
Dreaming they're true
Suffer my children
It's all I can do
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Nothing but nothing
Stands in your way
Save your tomorrows
Live for today (Live for today)
Nothing but nothing
This I imbue
The sins of the father
Are not meant for you
[Chorus 1]
When you wake in Valparaizo, there'll be heat
You'll see the whirling dervishes in the street
And you'll know that Solomon's children died in vain
And you'll despair because nobody knows their name
[Verse 3]
Sleep, my dearest
Hallowed the ground
It's fog of sweet nexus
In which we are bound
Candles are burning
And I lit a few
Suffer my children
It's all I can do
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Nothing but nothing
Stands in your way
Say what you mean, now
Mean what you say (Mean what you say)
Nothing, yeah, nothing
This I imbue
The sins of the father
Are not meant for you
[Chorus 2]
When you wake in Valparaizo, dry your eye
There'll be discontent and dust in the morning sky (Nothing but nothing)
And the traffic and the dust will drive you wild (Nothing but nothing)
Look around, look around, look around for Solomon's child
[Bridge]
You've got your mother's eyes
I'll miss you, I'll miss you
No time for sad goodbyes
Keep dancing 'cause time flies
[Chorus 3]
When you wake in Valparaizo, dry your eye
There will be discontent and dust in the morning sky (Nothing but nothing)
And the traffic and the noise will drive you wild (Nothing but nothing)
Look around, look around, look around for Saladin's child
[Chorus 4]
When you wake in Valparaizo there'll be heat (Nothing but nothing)
You'll see the whirling dervishes in the street (Nothing but nothing)
You'll know that Saladin's children died in vain
And you'll despair because nobody knew their name
[Outro]
Nothing but nothing, boy
Nothing but nothing
Nothing but nothing, nothing but nothing
Nothing but nothing, nothing but nothing
Nothing but nothing, nothing but nothing
Nothing but nothing, nothing but nothing
Nothing but nothing, nothing but nothing
Nothing buy nothing, nothing but nothing
Nothing but nothing, nothing but nothing
