Lyrics

Nothing to Show

[Verse 1: Roger Hodgson & Richard Davies]

Nothing to show beyond the fear I had

Body so warm within his perfumed bed

Sleeping alone, the shadow of a man

He will entice you, too, and if he can

[Chorus: Roger Hodgson & Richard Davies]

Nothing to show for love has never been

Nothing to show for love has never been

Nothing to show for love has never been

[Verse 2: Roger Hodgson & Richard Davies]

Nothing is handed, power is changing fast

Many the empty hopes his lips caress

Sorry to say his days are spent in vain

Chasing a dream of doom of nights in pain

[Chorus: Roger Hodgson & Richard Davies]

Nothing to show for love has never been

Nothing to show for love has never been

Nothing to show for love has never been

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3: Roger Hodgson & Richard Davies]

Shadowy nights of memories of the grave

Gentle my love, and sweetness sometimes sick

Pick up his times while his crimes are known

Only a fool can't see he's sold his love

[Chorus: Roger Hodgson & Richard Davies]

Nothing to show for love has never been

Nothing to show for love has never been

Nothing to show for love has never been

[Outro: Roger Hodgson & Richard Davies]

Nothing to show for love has never been

Nothing to show for love has never been

Nothing to show for love has never been
