Nothing to Show

from Winters Like These by Migrant Birds

/

lyrics

Tell me something
Is this the way you wanna go?
Just a feather
Just the shadow of a ghost

Cause I built next to nothing
By the sweat of my brow

Tell me something
Is this what you wanna see?
When you look back
At the sowing of the seeds

Cause I built next to nothing
By the sweat of my brow
And I’ll tell you:

Man, it ain’t easy
Having nothing to show
For nothing
Sit and let the moss grow

Hoping someday when I look back
I won’t call it a waste
But I don’t know
I got nothing to show

Can someone call back and tell
From the years when I’ll rest
If the days that I’m spending here holding my breath,
Well do they add up to something
Or is it just a slow death?
Just a slow death

Cause I built next to nothing
By the sweat of my brow
And I’ll tell you:

Man, it ain’t easy (Nothing to show)
No, it ain’t easy (Let the moss grow)
No, it ain’t easy (Nothing to show)
No, it ain’t easy (Let the moss grow)
