John & Mary
We Have Nothing
As it hides from sunlight the winter moves onAnd now gone like ghosts things we counted uponThe check you promised never cameI beat the windows and bawled your nameWe have nothingWe have nothingI've the feeling this is happening twiceLongtime friendships are now melting like iceSo good with words yet now they failAs seasons meet and the days grow paleWe have nothingWe have nothingThe long-buried poems the night that we metAnd then the hour we swore we'd never forgetThe ticking clock moved backwards tooUntil I wasn't sure if it was still youPeople stirring at their windows at dawnWe stood pissing on the constable's lawnIs that the moon there at the foot of the poolI was happy, now I feel like a foolLike a curtain dropping down from aboveIt's as though you had never been lovedSongtexteWe made a list from one to fiveGood reasons not to be aliveWe nursed our drinks in a workman's barWe kissed good night in a freezing carWe have nothingWe have nothingWe have nothing.
