Nothing compares to Blues

 

Sinead O'Conor Nothing Compares to You

1.

Its been many years since we have seen;

when I chose to Love my path in Christ.

I go out of the way, to seek the bleak;

those, given up and in booze reek!

Since Love is gone, didn't catch my wrist –

can do my thing, and stomp my chest!

Just to have another lost soul Redeemed!

2.

But Nothing compares to Blues;

while so lonely inside, without company.

What dost it matter throw the bird a shoe;

Wolves in sheep clothing still eat clueless,

and the sheep a Red Riding Hoes without a Pony!

No time for tears, for the unstringed don't sorry –

next moment, they might be gone without a bless.

3.

I put my arms around the trees and songs;

remembering the youths, I could have saved.

All the cheers and glory we once had, wrongs;

when God took it all away!! For How Long?

Nothing compares to that Blues, no rave;

thus I walk my paths alone the rain...

To be My Personal Jesus, that Superman King.

4.

When people just scream and shout and snarl;

how the truth shall set me free.

Have a wife and family raise a child, Earl.

What has a Knight to do with Peace, Carl?

Nothing compares to Blues, as decreed;

to follow in His footsteps supreme:

the silent footsteps of the shadow of the Lord!
