Nothing More Songtext
von Sandy Denny

"My friend I know you′ve suffered
Although you are still young
Why was it you would not take help from anyone?"
Oh it's true, it′s very true, he said
Some hard times I have known
But I have always overcome them on my own


Oh the pearls that you hold in your hand
They are beautiful to see
But you show them not to anyone, not even me
"You are like the others," he said
"I never can be shown
You wish just to see the pearls and nothing more"

Why can you not see reason?
How lightly on a thought
Why can you take no time to tell us all we're wrong?
"My tune it does not change," he said
"And neither does your song
And words I use them rarely when I'm all alone"
