More Than This: “I could feel at the time there was no way of knowing” (Nihilism but beyond it)

Rorty Music: Nihilism but beyond it

Fallen leaves in the night on the stable sea tide…

I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they’re blowing?

As free as the wind
Hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning
More than this
You know there’s nothing

More than this
Tell me one thing
More than this
Ooh there’s nothing
It was fun for a while

There was no way of knowing
Like a dream in the night
Who can say where we’re going?
No care in the world
Maybe I’m learning

Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning
More than this
You know there’s nothing
More than this
Tell me one thing

More than this
No there’s nothing
More than this
Nothing
More than this
More than this
Nothing
