Nothing, Not Nearly
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I won't forget the late September
Where we danced among the midnight embers
But it's going like a half-remembered dream
Left and north of where we met
Thinking better of going west
Yeah we lost each other in a river stream
I thought I'd come and find you there
Wait until you lost your hair
And got your place out in the woods
You're not afraid of trees or bears
Or anything with tendencies
To wanna hurt you good
The only thing I learnt in a year
Where I didn't smile once, not really
Nothing matters more than love, no
Nothing, no, not nothing no, not nearly
We've not got long, you know
To bask in the afterglow
Once it's gone it's gone
I won't forget the late September
Where we danced among the midnight embers
But it's going like a half-remembered dream
Left and north of where we met
Thinking better of going west
Yeah we've lost each other in a river stream
The only thing I learnt in a year
Where I didn't smile once, not really
Nothing matters more than love, no
Nothing, no, not, nothing no, not nearly
We've not got long, you know
To bask in the afterglow
Once it's gone it's gone
Love waits for no one
We've not got long, you know
To bask in the afterglow
Once it's gone it's gone
Love waits for no one
