She wonders if the flags are waving still
She likes to see their colors on the hill
Almost like a rainbow over all of this
She will fly the flag of nowhere
Hidden with the ribbons in her hair
Anywhere she goes she knows it's always there
Never far away from nowhere
Nowhere is a place inside her head
Though she is not it's only citizen
No one knows how many souls there may remain
Carrying a torch for nowhere
Though nowhere doesn't have a government
And no one can decide how far it may extend
But she will not surrender nowhere
So she is learning how to play the flute
Just because she always wanted to
She practices her lessons every afternoon
Up and down the scales of nowhere
Stumbling across Au Clair de Lune
Hour after hour in her basement room
Making up a tune for nowhere
