Nothing Happened

Chorus:
The wind blew.
The grass grew.
Summer faded into fall,
But nothing happened,
No, nothing happened
At all,
At all.

I watched the hours go by
And then the days.
I watched the days turn into years.
The geese flew down the sky,
And then the snow flew by,
And then the flowers came,
Yes, every year the same,
Until the day I died.
I never wondered why--

Chorus

I threw a praire flower
Into the stream
And watched it slowly drift away.
I still regret the hour,
And if I had the power,
I'd make that stream stand still
And flow back up this hill
And bring my flower to me,
But that could never be because--

Chorus
