Nothing to Lose - 4:54
The mystics say the stuff of life is mere illusion
And time is a thief
But I'd put a certain face on my fears and I called it belief
And when I took an offer that I couldn't refuse
I thought I'd something to lose
Well the banker only gives what he can take away,
and the lawyer's only working for the bank
In the end the joke's on them they're all enslaved
When they make an offer that you can't refuse
They think you've something to lose
And love is never wasted when it's given away, it heals where it flows
But withhold or try to trade it and it fades like melting snow
When I claimed possession She was kindly amused
She said, "Boy, there's nothing to lose"
When you strip it all away, none of this is mine
I may only behold it for a time
And when the love is flowing, it makes no demands
Don't enter and I leave with empty hands
Well the secret might just lie in knowing how you die
Is how you live
And when it's all been done and said there's nothing to forgive
And now I'm free, there's nothing anyone can take or do
Yes I've got nothing to lose
And now I'm through, and I'm comforted I'm telling you
Yeah I've got nothing to lose
