Nothing New Songtext
von Isidore

My little one
Where have you been?
Your blinding eyes
What have they seen?
The people down in Lincoln town
Wore their hats upon their sleeves
I heard them talk in old New York
Just as the autumn leaves

I′m never sorry for myself
It's just what I believe
It′s somebody else now
And they are not you
The difference just burns me
But that's nothing new


I wrote a song in one go
It made me sad for days
The hotel man from Turkestan
Was soaking up the rays
I wished I'd been a woman then
I might have been amazed
The better I make it
The worse that I do
And it′s so ancient
But that′s nothing new

The music was liquid
Somehow it slipped through
It all escapes me
But that's nothing new to you now
The truth was a lie and
The ointment was glue
I was found missing
But that′s nothing new

The feeling was absent
The red wine was blue
The gift is the present
But that's nothing new to you now
And there′s nothing more to do now


Oh now it's all for nothing
Oh now it′s all for nothing
Oh now it's all for nothing
Oh now it's all for nothing
Oh now it′s all for nothing
Oh now it′s all for nothing
Oh now it's all for nothing
Oh now it′s all for nothing

Your blinding eyes
What have they seen?
