Nothing Left to Lose

Rich Cahillane 2004

Standing in the tall grass with the morning dew
Sparkling with the sunrise the party’s still in you
A band beyond description had you howling at the moon
No one could ever wipe that smile off your face

Breathing stopped when the girl came cross the room
Her voice it was music and the truth rippled over you
Once you’d been alone now love had changed your tune
No one could ever wipe that smile off your face

Pull yourself together you got a couple more good years
You’ve seen it all there’s nothing left to fear

The doctor left a message come take another test
And if your body’s failing we’ll surely do our best
Just be patient try to find the strength
No one could ever wipe those tears from your face

Medicine is stronger the knife is sharper still
Bright lights are abrasive the dark night long and chill
Cryin down the hallway suffering will spill
No one could ever wipe those tears from your face

Pull yourself together you got a couple more good years
You’ve seen it all there’s nothing left to fear

When I say Goodbye it’s not goodbye
Long as we sing our songs we’ll carry on
I’ll see you again I don’t know when

A child has arrived laid into your hands
A face you never imagined playing in the sands
Waves are crashing over send you both tumbling down
No one could ever wipe that smile off your face

This song is just beginning this song is almost done
I sing it in the evening it's a circle round the sun
When the band is playing I drop all my complaints
No one could ever wipe this smile off my face

Pull yourself together you got a couple more good years
You’ve seen it all there’s nothing left to fear
