No, Nothing, Never Songtext
von Dark Day

Have you gone down in the dark where none is welcome?
He heard the constant sound between the walls of our house
He tried to locate it
He attacked the wash with fierce energy
As if to get rid of the troubled ideas
Which boiled in his head
Like the water in the bubbling tanks

No
Nothing
Never

He threw the dirty whites into the washer
And closed the lid with a bang
He felt the angry waves rush at him
As though they would tear him from his seat
And great sheets of stinging spray were flung in his face

No
Nothing
Never


No
Nothing
Never

Poor thing, she said
I suppose it′s not quite right in his little head
She fed him bread and milk on the end of a sliver of wood
Which he took willingly
And soon he was growing fat and strong

No
Nothing
Never

She would encourage him by talking to him
And he would start again
Step by step
Feeling the way
And only putting his foot down
When he sensed firm ground beneath him

No
Nothing
Never


No
Nothing
Never

His food is given him in a plate
And he is handed a spoon with which he eats
As well as any ordinary child
Seldom spilling any of the food

When he has finished he hands the plate and spoon to the keeper
Who in turn hands him a napkin
With which he thoroughly removes all traces of his dinner

If given soap, water and towel
He will wash and dry his face and hands
He does many things
Which he has apparently learned through observation

No
Nothing
Never

No
Nothing
Never

No
Nothing
Never

When our Bobby was about a year old
Our dear little Toodles had a paralytic stroke and passed away
We buried him at the back of the barn
