The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Talking to your lover On a non existent phone Houseful of nothing The joyous conversation Of a creature quite alone Houseful of nothing The whir of passing traffic The sighing of the breeze Houseful of nothing The awareness of a culture That is fading by degrees Houseful of nothing A hint of a shadow Or a picture by the door Houseful of nothing The creak of a staircase Or the flexing of the floor Houseful of nothing The light spreading even Neither glaring nor too dark Houseful of nothing All finished had blended Leaving surface with no mark Houseful of nothing One time in a lifetime Understand just what you own No-one Owns the sunshine And possession is a stone One time in a lifetime Try to glimpse just who you are All that learning All those ages Have you really come so far? The traces of a perfume Half-remembered from the past Houseful of nothing The ringing of a catchphrase From a cherished telecast Houseful of nothing Nothing in the corner Nothing on the wall Houseful of nothing It makes you laugh to think That there were ever things at all Houseful of nothing One time in a lifetime Will you use the things you know Will you passing Make a difference Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo Will you foster, will you sow One time in a lifetime Make a list of all you own And when you are gone What will it do for you, baby? Hey hey hey hey hey hey You took my family Give it back give it back You took the heart of me Give it back give it back You took my dignity Give it back Remember society Bring it back bring it back bring it back Sense of community Bring it back bring it back bring it back Lost opportunity Bring it back bring it back bring it back Mercy and charity Bring it back Bring it bring it bring it bring it back One time in a lifetime Understand just what you own No-one owns the sunshine And possession is a stone One time Remember society In a lifetime Bring it back Try to glimpse just who you are All that learning Sense of community All those ages Bring it back Have you really come so far? Lost opportunity Bring it back Mercy and charity Bring it back One time in a lifetime Try to glimpse just who you are All that learning All those ages Have you really come so far? Bring it bring it bring it bring it back Bring it back One time in a lifetime Mercy and charity Bring it back
