I come home it’s dark It’s not the same A missing book I’m floating untied I’ll do just what I want I empty my mind you’re gone And now I know what nothing is Now I know what nothing is Now I know what nothing is Floating upstream What were the last words you said Was it just before bed Missing your black beret Gone from the rack From the entryway By the poster of Patti Smith And now I know what nothing is Now I know what nothing is Now I know what nothing is Floating upstream And now I know what nothing is Now I know what nothing is Now I know what nothing is Is nothing such a bad thing Is pain just an awakening Maybe I have everything Everything I need Maybe there’s nothing wrong Maybe you’re just gone Maybe nothing’s wrong Maybe you’re just gone And now I know what nothing is I turn on the light I switch it off It’s better in the dark Is that your coat No it’s my shirt By the copy of The Drunken Boat And now I know what nothing is Now I know what nothing is Now I know what nothing is Floating upstream And now I know what nothing is Now I know what nothing is Now I know what nothing is I’m floating untied
