lyrics

nothing comes from nothing
neither beauty nor desire
the fruit is thus in debt to the flower

whisper tenderly
bring peace to where the need
is greatest, love
will fill up all the space between

nothing comes from nothing
but is born of gas and dust
and unto dust we must return

whisper tenderly
bring peace to where the need
is greatest, love
pervasive love

there is nothing you can do
that isn't a perfect reflection
of your imperfect you
that isn't a perfect reflection
of your imperfect
perfect point of view

nothing is rotten, nothing is pure
no matter what you've been through
there's more in store
and I'm sorry my friend, to bring the news
but the man will come collect his dues
honest abe, trusty tom
sweet theresa of the flower's son
hold on now, for your life and mine
and we'll close our eye
and think of simpler times

nothing comes from nothing
I will trust you, will you trust me?
here we are tight-rope walking
on the edge of our sanity

whisper tenderly
bring peace to where the need
is greatest, love
pervasive love

there is nothing you can do
that isn't a perfect reflection
of your imperfect you
that isn't a perfect reflection
of your imperfect
perfect point of view
