Next to Nothing Songtext
von Mandolin Orange

How long, how long must I run
′Fore my shadows have left my side for good
Until my eyes can no longer lie as they do
But oh, how soon, how soon will you fly
Away where your angel once stood
Next to nothing, his heart was pure and seemed true


Well, my dear, my dearest friend
Wild and troubled, is it my cold hands you fear
Or the world that lies behind their touch
Oh, how soon, how soon will you fly?
Away to a kinder hope, its clear
Next to nothing a world I'll never know

Oh, how long, how long must I seek
Stones this world has left unturned
And hold them high, just before they′re thrown
And oh, how soon, how soon will you fly?
My eyes can no longer wait unknowing
'Cause next to nothing you are all I want
And next to nothing you are all I want
