Short Side Of Nothing
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.
Dreams wash down the gutter
All my hopes in vain
Crows up on the rooftop
Laughing out my name
Here I am on the short side of nothing
Here I am on the short side of nothing
We danced all night as life stood by
We told another lie
Found a spot down by the roadside
There I closed my eyes
And here I am on the short side of nothing
Here I am on the short side of nothing
All alone, all alone
Can't find my way home
Summer has come and the heat hangs low
No escape in sight
Sirens scream and lovers moan
Just like any other night
And here I am on the short side of nothing
Here I am on the short side of nothing
All alone, all alone
Can't find my way home
