I Asked For Nothing

And we went down to the edge of the mountain
Where all the world is surrounded by trees
I saw a man wash his soul in a fountain
But I asked for nothing
And you gave me nothing
So just let me be

And we dream of ways to surrender
And we talk and we laugh and we hold and we bleed
But there’s a house down under the mountain
Where we walk
By the mountain where walk to be free

And as the truth needs pain for comfort
We talk in rhyme just to prove we believe
Out in the shade of none but the desert
I asked for nothing
And you gave me nothing
So just let me be

And we dream of ways to surrender
And we talk and we laugh and we hold and we bleed
But there’s a house down under the mountain
Where we walk
By the mountain where we walk
Where the light’s never covered in leaves
