Nothing at all

The sound of one hand clapping ringing in my ears
and a belly dancer filling up my eyes
So the sound of one hand clapping disappears from view
as I sink between the belly dancer's thighs

Chorus
Nothing at all is the everlasting answer
Nothing at all is everywhere
No-thing at all is the answer to the question
no place at all to be understood.

I exercise restraint but they say "just one more
just another wee one for the road".
I exercise restraint but its all in vain
as I stumble with another heavy load.

What does it take to make you change your mind
What does it take to leave your troubles behind
What does it take to make you change your mind
and to know there is no mind to be changed.

Sit quiet doing nothing and the green grass grows
Lilies born to bloom and die unseen
Sit quiet doing nothing and the tree leaves fall
and there's nothing moving but my mind
