No Treasure but Hope by Tindersticks Lyrics

No treasure but hope, no treasure
The end of a rope, no pressure

No treasure but hope
No love on our streets, only fear in our hearts
No love on our streets, only fear in our hearts
No treasure but hope

Too many stars for the counting, lessons for the learning
Lessons for remembering
Too many stars for the counting, lessons for the learning
The trick is the escaping

No treasure but hope
No love on our streets, only fear in our hearts
No love on our streets, only fear in our hearts
No treasure but hope

Too many stars for the counting, lessons for the learning
Lessons for remembering
Too hungry to think of the providence
Too angry for the consequence
We raised our hands for the counting
We raised our hands for the counting
Fill our bellies with worms
No treasure but hope

Under a shower of all our days
Listening to the sunshine burn our lawns
The trick is the escaping
No treasure but hope
