Nameless

Boo Hewerdine

Every child asks why we die
No one tells a bird to fly
The trace of sunlight in your eye
Nameless

The sugar ache that means regret
The tiny hurts we can't forget
An undertaker's cigarette
Nameless

Here I am
Why don't you give me a sign
Here I am
Why don't you give me a sign

Between the lightning and the thunder
Right before you hear a train
The knowledge that you could go under
Nameless

Here I am
Why don't you give me a sign
Here I am
Why don't you give me a sign

When they come my haunting years
You'll hear no sound and you'll feel no fear
Once in a while you sense me near
Nameless
