Chris Hillman - Nothing Gets Through lyrics

Hillman-Knobler Lonely like a mine sweeper Peaceful as a light sleeper Hungry as a jail keeper after three days on the job I'm as stable as a forest fawn As gentle as a good boy gone wrong All the promise of an early dawn before the rain You, I can tell you're not playin' Nothing gets through If you see you're not sayin' Still I'm stayin' Constant as a love lost Tender as an early frost Simple as a double-cross but twice the price I'm as reckless as a favorite son As subtle as a smokin' gun Nothin' ventured and nothin' won and nothin' lost And you, I can tell you're not playin' Nothing gets through If you see you're not sayin' Still I'm stayin' Instrumental (Electric Guitar) Like a soldier who's going home Or a rider who's just been thrown High, I'm almost grown and almost young I've taken what it takes I've paid for my mistakes Now please, before it's too late get me out alive And you, I can tell you're not playin' Nothing gets through If you see you're not sayin' Still I'm stayin' Oh, and you I can tell you're not playin' Nothing gets through If you see you're not sayin' Still I'm stayin' Instrumental (Piano) I've taken what it takes I've paid for my mistakes Nothing gets through to you Nothing gets through to you Nothing gets through to you Nothing gets through
