Nothing, Not Nearly

I won't forget the late September

Where we danced among the midnight embers

But it's going like a half-remembered dream

Left and north of where we met

Thinking better of going west

Yeah we lost each other in a river stream

I thought I'd come and find you there

Wait until you lost your hair

And got your place out in the woods

You're not afraid of trees or bears

Or anything with tendencies

To wanna hurt you good

The only thing I learnt in a year

Where I didn't smile once, not really

Nothing matters more than love, no

Nothing, no, not nothing no, not nearly

We've not got long, you know

To bask in the afterglow

Once it's gone it's gone

I won't forget the late September

Where we danced among the midnight embers

But it's going like a half-remembered dream

Left and north of where we met

Thinking better of going west

Yeah we lost each other in a river stream

The only thing I learnt in a year

Where I didn't smile once, not really

Nothing matters more than love, no

Nothing, no, not, nothing no, not nearly

We've not got long, you know

To bask in the afterglow

Once it's gone it's gone

Love waits for no one

We've not got long, you know

To bask in the afterglow

Once it's gone it's gone

Love waits for no one
