Lyrics
NOTHING SHARP NOTHING FLAT
I TRIED TO REACH YOU THROUGH THE VEIL OF RAIN
AND I CAN NEVER TOUCH YOU UNDER DESSERT SKIES
AND EMOTIONS UNRAVEL FEELING SO STRANGE
UPON THE HIGH PLATEAU WE LEFT THE WINGS OF LOVE TO DIE
CHORUS:
I STRUMMED THE MUSIC YOU COMPOSED UPON MY HEART
RINGING TRUE ONCE MANY YEARS AGO
BUT SOMEHOW THE STRINGS ARE ALL OUT OF TUNE
RECALLING LONG PAST
NOTHING SHARP AND NOTHING FLAT
YOU, YOU GLIMMER LIKE COINS AT THE BOTTOM OF A FOUNTAIN
I TRIED TO TOUCH YOU UNDER WATER YOUR SOUL LIES
AND WHEN THE STORMS OF SUMMER CRACK OVER THE ENDLESS PLAINS YOU'LL REMEMBER ME I KNOW YOU'LL CALL MY NAME
CHORUS:
I STRUMMED THE MUSIC YOU COMPOSED UPON MY HEART
RINGING TRUE ONCE MANY YEARS AGO
BUT SOMEHOW THE STRINGS ARE ALL OUT OF TUNE
RECALLING LONG PAST
NOTHING SHARP AND NOTHING FLAT
SOLO: FLUTE AND GUITAR
CHORUS:
I STRUMMED THE MUSIC YOU COMPOSED UPON MY HEART
RINGING TRUE ONCE MANY YEARS AGO
BUT SOMEHOW THE STRINGS ARE ALL OUT OF TUNE
RECALLING LONG PAST
NOTHING SHARP AND NOTHING FLAT
