Nothing to Say

from When Did it Change? by Dawn Barrington

/

about

Nothing to say was inspired by my first band break up. I was gutted and the first verse puts into words how I felt when I went to my music room and their charts were no longer on my music stand. I think the rest of the song merged into every other previous relationship that hadn’t worked out. Luckily for me I had a wonderful mentor who I could talk to and he didn’t say a huge amount (“the words of the wise man who had nothing to say”) but there was wisdom in that and I got through it and moved on.

lyrics

Verse 1
You think you’re on track and then you’re not
You think they’re with you, then they’re gone
One more teardrop is ready to fall
All is lost to the cold dark door
That closes each time when you see the words
Of those who are there no more, not any more

Verse 2
That sinking feeling that can’t be expressed
Only felt by the weight on your chest
When you think all is lost, like a
Dark stormy night where the ship loses sight
The beacon is far and the light is dim
Where are you now, said you’d be here, said you would be here

Chorus x2
There’s only one thing that keeps me sane
That’s the words of the wise man who has nothing to say

Verse 3
You said we were going all the way
I felt your joy, shared my heart
Then you closed the door, tore me apart
One more step down that lonely road
I need to re gather re assign my load
Life was never a time to be alone, time to be alone

Verse 4
I thought it was me, then I found it was you
I didn’t realise all your lies were so true
You made it seem as if all was ok
By the way you showed up every night and day
Then I saw that look in your eyes
I knew-at-that moment we were saying ……………. saying goodbye

CHORUS x2
