John And Mary - We Have Nothing lyrics

(John Lombardo) As it hides from sunlight the winter moves on And now gone like ghosts things we counted upon The check you promised never came I beat the windows and bawled your name We have nothing I've the feeling this is happening twice Longtime friendships are now melting like ice So good with words yet now they fail As seasons meet and the days grow pale We have nothing The long-buried poems the night that we met And then the hour we swore we'd never forget The ticking clock moved backwards to Till I wasn't sure if it was you People stirring at their windows at dawn We stood pissing on the constable's lawn Is that the moon there at the foot of the pool I was happy now I feel like a fool Like a curtain dropping down from above It's as though you had never been loved We made a list from one to five Good reasons not to be alive We nursed our drinks in a workmans bar We kissed good night in a freezing car We have nothing
