15/Eight - Tiles Lyrics

Way back in the warehouse where I was born
Hail swept through the curtains slashed and torn
I'd count that the tiles on the floor
They'd outnumber the shadows at the door
And what could I say
To a man left breathless
Whatever can you give
To ease the heartless
Nothing
Nada no no-no-no no-no-no no-no-no nothing
Years on, now in tenements through the walls
I hear those shadows stalk the halls
Traveling to find someplace safe and warm
But everywhere I live, well I keep my curtains drawn
And what is there to say
To a man left breathless
Whatever can you give
To ease the heartless-
Nothing
Nada no no-no-no no-no-no no-no-no nothing
In the cafes and on the trains
And at work pushing through the days
When I look in somebody's eyes
Well I'm sit scared and paralyzed
And I've done this since I was young
Though I'm given a chance to change
When someone new comes round the call
Well I keep my curtains drawn
Well I keep my curtains drawn
Well I keep my curtains drawn
Well I keep my curtains drawn
When I'm leaving this life alone
Well I'll hardly regret a thing
Cause there's much harder ways to live
Than to keep all my curtains drawn
Whatever can you say
To ease the heartless-
Nothing
Nada no no-no-no no-no-no no-no-no nothing
