I Hold Nothing 歌詞

Your love Swells and pounds me I know nothing (now that I know you) My face goes blank My eyes go open gates And the world can go (in them) It can make us wealthy And take away So I hold nothing (now that I hold you) There's no place to spend our money where we live The generous world suggests we live generously So we lay Under low wide branches Of the oldest tree on the dune Or in the hay Where we will stay for so long without moving That the careful birds finally relax And make black nests in your black hair And find ants walking around my unmoving feet And we will only notice this play of the world (That long moss is growing on us) (That that wind has rewritten us) (The give and take not stopping ever) For only a moment And then, having breifly noticed Let the world roll on, doing this Through open gates In a generous way I give long walks to the dogs I put commas and periods in song I give closed eye to the day I give peace to the long decay (We do not need to fear dying)
