I spy with my little tired eye,
Tiny as a firefly
A pebble that we picked up last July.
Down deep inside your pocket,
We almost forgot it,
Does it ever miss Wicklow sometimes?

[Chorus]
F
They said the end is coming,
C
Everyone’s up to something,
Dm7                        C
I find myself runnin' home to your sweet nothings.
F
Outside, they’re push and shoving,
C
You're in the kitchen humming,
Dm7                    C               N.C.
All that you ever wanted from me was sweet nothing.

On the way home,
I wrote a poem,
You say, "What a mind",
This happens all the time.

[Bridge]
F                         C
Industry disruptors and soul deconstructors
Dm7                                C
And smooth-talking hucksters out glad-handing each other
F                              C
And the voices that implore, "You should be doing more"
Dm7                                    C*
To you, I can admit that I’m just too soft for all of it

[Chorus]
F
They said the end is coming, (they say the end is coming)
C
Everyone’s up to something, (everyone's up to something)
Dm7                        C
I find myself runnin' home to your sweet nothings.
