Nothing Grows - The Ocean Party

Food goes off here these days

She feels lost so she prefers to stay

He fusses around, making sure that she’s okay

Dreads the day he leaves for his final resting place

A farm that’s too big with nothing to drink

Farmer that’s sick, just wanting to sleep

It’s too cold here in the winter

And nothing grows here in the summer

Light the fires, please, my sweet

Let’s just lie here in peace

She now drinks a cask a week

Since her memories have started to leak

She has no desire to do anything

So the days get shorter 'til the next will soon begin

They don’t stay for him, they stay for her

So she doesn’t wake lost and scream to be heard

It’s too cold here in the winter

And nothing grows here in the summer

Light the fires, please, my sweet

Let’s just lie here in peace

He has the mind and wants to live, but not the health

She’ll live forever, unhappy, lost in herself

He’d move mountains to live for her

She’ll resent him until it’s all just a blur

Food goes off here these days

And days never start since they’ve reached their age

It’s too cold here in the winter

And nothing grows here in the summer

Light the fires, please, my sweet

Let’s just lie here in peace

It’s too cold here in the winter

And nothing grows here in the summer

Light the fires, please, my sweet

Let’s just lie here in peace

It’s too cold here in the winter

And nothing grows here in the summer

Light the fires, please, my sweet

Let’s just lie here in peace

It’s too cold here in the winter

And nothing grows here in the summer

Light the fires, please, my sweet

Let’s just lie here in peace
