Lyrics
Nothing Lost - Nothing Gained
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.
In my world there are sorrows
That I'd rather drown in happiness
Come the morning When the darkness' through
That story's bound to change
And in my world and in my world
It's all the same
And nothing's ventured Nothing's changed
And nothing's lost and nothing's gained
Turn up the T.V. Make the music loud
Better to ignore the rabid dog baying at your door
Draw the blind Change the channel if you dare
Better to say I don't care
Go and jump aboard the train to freedom
It's a one-way fare
You even find that when the tunnel's through
Your ticket's vanished forgotten you
You hear the bell You know it's time to jump off
'Cause there's nothing at the platform's edge again
It's too late
It's over to you
