When there is nothing left to say Pleas, half-formed unspoken fade No last chances on a plate No dying breath to resuscitate All our jokers, aces played Reluctant still to move away Familiarity urges us to stay Use the door, close the gate When there is nothing left to say The mirage that was yesterday Crumbles into dust today No more fire in the grate All burnt out so why wait The path untrodden leads the way When there is nothing left to say

Nothing left - a rondeau
When there is nothing left to say Pleas, half-formed unspoken fade No last chances on a plate No dying breath to resuscitate All our jokers, aces played Reluctant still to move away Familiarity urges us to stay Use the door, close the gate When there is nothing left to say The mirage that was yesterday Crumbles into dust today No more fire in the grate All burnt out so why wait The path untrodden leads the way When there is nothing left to say
