lyrics

Nothing But A Song
Dave Gunning/ Jamie Robinson

A heartless sky a spiteful rain
A thousand souls getting washed away
A city street to an endless shore
Forever changed

The morning wall hangs a new day’s sun
For a dawn we wished had never come
It’s a picture torn in a broken frame
That can’t hold on

Words might fill the empty page
That life gives when it’s gone
A hardened thief, for all he takes
Leaves nothing, nothing but a song

He woke up empty on a northern street
A blue-eyed kid couldn’t make ends meet
Left behind with a worn out soul
At seventeen

Couldn’t wait for time to come
He put a brand new bullet in a stolen gun
Held his breath, tasted steel
Forever young

Words might fill the empty page
That life gives when it’s gone
A hardened thief, for all he takes
Leaves nothing, nothing
Words might fill the empty page
That life gives when it’s gone
A hardened thief, for all he takes
Leaves nothing, nothing but a song
