Nothing You Can Teach Me
There can be no consolation
In this moment all sadness is distilled
All my ruin is made plain,
My humiliation she wears no frills
And still you try to drink my tears,
But your kindness, she just won’t reach
And I love your stories where you learned to lose
But there’s nothing you can teach me about the blues
There’s nothing you can teach me about the blues
Oh we have been through vales of glory
We have pictures to help us reminisce
And we are tarnished by life’s advances
Oh and our beauty is in our every kiss
Oh but this, well you’d have to live my life
To see things with this heart of mine
And you can try all you like to show it hurts you too
But there’s nothing you can teach me about the blues
There’s nothing you can teach me about the blues
Well I need my times and spaces
Cos this blues is whispering my name
And I love you truly cos you do what you do
And you stand by me night and day
And hey, still you try to drink my tears,
But your kindness, she just won’t reach
And whatever I ask I know you won’t refuse
And I love your stories where you learn to lose
And I love you truly cos you do what you do
But there’s nothing you can teach me about the blues
There’s nothing you can teach me about the blues
Well here’s nothing you can teach me about the blues
In this moment all sadness is distilled
All my ruin is made plain,
My humiliation she wears no frills
And still you try to drink my tears,
But your kindness, she just won’t reach
And I love your stories where you learned to lose
But there’s nothing you can teach me about the blues
There’s nothing you can teach me about the blues
Oh we have been through vales of glory
We have pictures to help us reminisce
And we are tarnished by life’s advances
Oh and our beauty is in our every kiss
Oh but this, well you’d have to live my life
To see things with this heart of mine
And you can try all you like to show it hurts you too
But there’s nothing you can teach me about the blues
There’s nothing you can teach me about the blues
Well I need my times and spaces
Cos this blues is whispering my name
And I love you truly cos you do what you do
And you stand by me night and day
And hey, still you try to drink my tears,
But your kindness, she just won’t reach
And whatever I ask I know you won’t refuse
And I love your stories where you learn to lose
And I love you truly cos you do what you do
But there’s nothing you can teach me about the blues
There’s nothing you can teach me about the blues
Well here’s nothing you can teach me about the blues
