NOTHING TO MY NAME

I have asked you endlessly,
When will you go with me?
But you always laugh at me with,
Nothing to my name
I want to give you my dreams,
And give you my freedom.
But you always laugh at me with,
Nothing to my name.
Ohhh....
When will you go with me?

The earth beneath my feet is moving.
The river beside me is flowing.
But you always laugh at me with,
Nothing to my name.
Why do you always laugh at me so?
Why don't I give up?
Why do you see me as,
Forever having nothing to my name?
Ohhh....
Just go with me now!

Listen - I've waited so long,
So I'll make my final request.
I want to grab you by the hands,
And take you with me.
Now your hands are trembling,
Now your tears are falling.
Perhaps you are saying,
You love me with nothing to my name
Ohhh....
Just go with me now.
