This song has haunted me from the moment I heard it and now it truly speaks to me. One day was not enough...
Rob Dougan: Nothing at All
I want to be still
I want to walk into your grave
Where I can shelter in peace
Until all our cares have blown away…yeah
Let the whole world fall away
And fall into my arms
Stay with me
I don't know how long we've got left
And so I'm asking you
To forgive me
I learn as I go
To float far away
Into silence
And just watch your face
And find some kind of grace
In that quiet bliss
Can I stay
And say nothing…at all, at all
Where will we go when we get old
When the bustle and the noise
Get too frightening
When each and every angry word
Is banished to the past
That’s when I think…
We'll learn as we go
To float far away
Into silence
And I'll watch your face
And find patience and grace
In each line there
Work each day
All for nothing…at all, at all
And the few words I say
They mean nothing…at all, at all
Will you walk into the grave with me
Will you leave this empty world
Soft and wistful
To sink into the dark, dank earth
And never reappear would be blissful
To float far away
Into eternal space
And God's silence
Where I'll watch your face
And find patience and grace
In each line there
Drift away
Into nothing…at all, at all
Find the grace
To be nothing…at all, at all
Fade away
And end up nothing…at all, at all, at all
