I could feel at the time There was no way of knowing Fallen leaves in the night Who can say where they're blowing As free as the wind And hopefully learning Why the sea on the tide Has no way of turning More than this, there is nothing More than this, tell me one thing More than this, there is nothing It was fun for a while There was no way of knowing Like dream in the night Who can say where we're going No care in the world Maybe I'm learning Why the sea on the tide Has no way of turning More than this, you know there is nothing More than this, tell me one thing More than this, you know there is nothing More than this nothing More than this More than this nothing
