When all the words are gone
When all the pain has gone
When words have left their songs,
Nothing.

When scalded eyes close tight
When hearts prepare for night
All breath lost in the fight,
Nothing.

When wisdom has its dawn
When sense has found its morn
How long will souls then mourn?
for nothing.

When all the words are spoken
When both hearts have been broken
And all’s gone save a token,
Nothing.

As summer follows rain
So too will love again
You’ll remember of the pain
sweet nothing.
