Lyrics

In a woods in a clearing
No one else within hearing
There’s a book on a table
You open and read

Then you find you are dreaming
You’re not sure of the meaning
But it’s opened your soul
And it’s planted a seed

All for naught
Look what it’s brought
All for naught
And never to be

There’s a path by a river
You can walk it forever
It will never turn back
It will never repeat

Water never stops flowing
No one knows where it’s going
All the wisdom you find
Is under your feet

All for naught
Look what it’s brought
All for naught
And never to be

All for naught
Look what it’s brought
All for naught
And never to be

All for naught
Look what it’s brought
All for naught
And never to be

All for naught
Look what it’s brought
All for naught
And never to be

I like the cryptic nature of your lyrics. Great imagery. I like the journey you take us on. And all for naught indeed. Where is the meaning?

I really like the pictures you paint with your words - and with the music of course. The minor chords and tentative sounding melody match the resigned feeling of the lyrics really well.

NICE LYRIC, so engaging, I love "But it’s opened your soul
And it’s planted a seed"
Great chorus and rhymes, I think you really took this paint card to a new level!! What a haunting melody and visual and mysterious write....I have read it a few times...I love it!! Thanks for always taking the Paintcard Challenge!!!
