Nothing Changes - Tea Leaf Green

Thunderstorm is coming

I see it through the door

If I get struck by lightning

My heart won’t beat any more

In other words…

Nothing will change

I went down to the river

The water is turning brown

If the levy breaks

Well I will surely drown

In other words…

Nothing will change

I’m drivin through the field

The field sowed with corn

I saw a dead fox lyin on the side of the road

My baby left me yesterday

She packed up all her clothes

She said that I would never change

This bottle’s almost empty

Yet I cannot catch a buzz

And the radio’s a tragedy of

Country songs and fuzz

In other words…

Nothing will change

The daylight always fails me

There’s no secret he can keep

The midnight will embrace me

But she will not let me sleep

In other words…

Nothing will change

Today there was a thunderstorm

It came in from a far

Lightning bolts came beating down

The earth was burned and scarred

My baby left me yesterday

She drove off in her car

And she said that I will never change

The kitchen clock is tickin

And the faucet’s got a leak

Like that water drippin

I’m on the path that resists the least

In other words…

Nothing changes

Yes I’m fallin to the bottom

The bottom of a hill

Where the rich men build their mansions

And they marry pretty girls

In other words…

Nothing changes

And if I had a little

Of what they got up there

Things would be different if

Life was only fair

My baby’d be beside me now

Together through this storm

There are some things that just cannot change

Some things you cannot change

The night is awfully quiet

There’s no friends I can call

I’m standin on a wooden chair

And if I should fall

Nothing will change

Nothing will change

Yes it’s that which hangs me up

That holds me down

Yes it’s that which holds me up

That holds me down

Yes it’s that which holds me up

That holds me down
