Nothing Gets Through

Hillman-Knobler

Lonely like a mine sweeper
Peaceful as a light sleeper
Hungry as a jail keeper after three days on the job
I'm as stable as a forest fawn
As gentle as a good boy gone wrong
All the promise of an early dawn before the rain
You, I can tell you're not playin'
Nothing gets through
If you see you're not sayin'
Still I'm stayin'
Constant as a love lost
Tender as an early frost
Simple as a double-cross but twice the price
I'm as reckless as a favorite son
As subtle as a smokin' gun
Nothin' ventured and nothin' won and nothin' lost
And you, I can tell you're not playin'
Nothing gets through
If you see you're not sayin'
Still I'm stayin'
Instrumental (Electric Guitar)
Like a soldier who's going home
Or a rider who's just been thrown
High, I'm almost grown and almost young
I've taken what it takes
I've paid for my mistakes
Now please, before it's too late get me out alive
And you, I can tell you're not playin'
Nothing gets through
If you see you're not sayin'
Still I'm stayin'
Oh, and you I can tell you're not playin'
Nothing gets through
If you see you're not sayin'
Still I'm stayin'
Instrumental (Piano)
I've taken what it takes
I've paid for my mistakes
Nothing gets through to you
Nothing gets through to you
Nothing gets through to you
Nothing gets through
