We Had Everything Songtext

von Jenny Wilson

Nothing
We had nothing
Nothing but the air
That we were gasping for

Not much
We hadn't much
But we had many dreams
And a list of what we lacked

Oh enough
I could tell we had enough
I carried my own children
Upon my back

Everything
Now I know that now
We had everything though we did not know
We had love

So now what I'm dreaming of
Hey what I'm longing for
Who's there to save me now

Soon it's all gone with the wind
It's flying like a kite of paper in the storm
Soon it's all gone with the wind
It's flying like a kite of paper in the storm
Soon it's all gone with the wind
It's flying like a kite of paper in the storm

Nothing
We had nothing
But the roof had many holes
And it was raining

Not much
We hadn't much at all
But at least we saw the stars
During the starlit nights

Oh enough
I swear we had enough
A fireplace in the middle
Where we gathered all of us

Everything
I know I know that now
We had everything though we did not know
We had love

So now what I'm dreaming of
Hey what I'm longing for
Who's there to save me now

Soon it's all gone with the wind
It's flying like a kite of paper in the storm
Oh soon it's all gone with the wind
It's flying like a kite of paper in the storm
No, no, soon it's all gone with the wind
It's flying like a kite of paper in the storm

We had nothing
We had not much
We had enough
Please don't ever let us have too much...
