Anything is Better Than Nothing

I feel the quiet rear its head
It's building up its nest again
I have more than my two hands can hold
I'll find a new good fishing spot
We'll rebuild the wooden dock
The one that stands is eaten up with mold
Deer tracks cutting lines across the road

I would close my eyes
Late at night
And tell you everything
Won't you say anything?
Anything is better than nothing

I'm looking at my back again
Trying to find a way back in
I go a day or two without talking
I don't know why I stay awake
And think about another place
I strike up conversations while I'm walking
Planes a mile high commence their stalking

I would close my eyes
Late at night
And tell you everything
Won't you say anything?
Anything is better than nothing

I will not fight, no, I don't have it in me
I don't have a word to say, a word to say
I will not fight, no, I don't have it in me
I don't have a word to say, a word to say

I watched you build a garden there
And before, your mother cut my hair
We left that house and moved into another
I slipped outside onto the roof
I'd sleep out there the whole night through
Waiting for a whisper of some other
I watched your spirit closely as it hovered

I will not fight, no, I don't have it in me
I don't have a word to say, a word to say
I will not fight, no, I don't have it in me
Let the tide do what what it's meant to
I will not fight, no, I don't have it in me
I don't have a word to say, a word to say
I will not fight, no, I don't have it in me
Let the tide do what what it's meant to
