Nothing at All - Deep Purple

I'm talking to myself again

And waving to a passing friend

I've known her since I don't know when

Ah, it's nothing at all

Just a few of us walk arm in arm

It's innocent and charming

But the children seem to be getting alarmed

Don't worry kids, it's nothing at all

When I hear about the doom and gloom

That's around the corner, and coming soon

I take a sip of mother's ruin

And sit with my back to the wall

It's nothing at all

Nothing at all

And the old lady smiled

It's nothing at all

Then she blew all the leaves off my tree

And the junk that sails our seven seas

Is very nearly up to my knees

But the platitudes and pleasantries

Keep saying it's nothing at all

I'll deal with it on another day

If I close my eyes it'll go away

So, bottoms up boys, and what do you say?

Really, it's nothing at all

It's nothing at all

Nothing at all

And the old lady smiled

It's nothing at all

And the summer passed away

Nothing at all

It's nothing at all

And the old lady smiled

It was nothing at all

Then she blew all the leaves off my tree
