  • And the fear goes on shadows
    And the tear flows on for nothing
    And the fear goes on shadows
    And the tear flows on for nothing

    Under his nose was a dream come true
    Been there all the time and he almost knew

    And the fear goes on shadows
    And the tear flows on for nothing
    And the tear flows on shadows
    And the tear flows on for nothing

    Under his nose was a dream come true
    Been there all the time and he almost knew
    Thoughts of people in misfortune stopped him doing things well
    His duty was to use it, left his pearl in the shell

    And the fear goes on shadows
    And the tear flows on for nothing
    And the fear goes on shadows
    And the tear flows on for no-, no-, no-, nothing

    And the fear goes on
    And the tear goes on
    Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing

    And the tear flows on
    And the fear goes on
    Nothing Writer/s: Howard Jones
