There Is No Such Place

                                  There is no such place, 

O yes I have seen it too 

Just a little different from how you do, 

A river winding blue among the dunes 

And a marble bed 

A sun that doesn't set but settles. 

There is no such place. 

If I lower mine to yours 

Would you kiss me on the face? 

If you're looking for an unmarked place, 

There is no such place 



Blasted in appearance and 

A composite of fearful minutes 

Frozen in the waking instant 

Longing, things I long for, 

Peaceful nights, 

Strangers at the door, 

O come in, come in, 

You've been here before. 

There is no such place, 

So perhaps we have a reason 

For our long and falling face, 

Above all it would be warm 

But we would keep our heads all 

Clear as Winter, storms would be 

A sight to make us shiver 

But without the chill 

Of thinking all is hither-thither 



Longing, 

Things I long for, 

Peaceful nights, 

Strangers at the door, 

O come in, come through the door, 

You've been here before, 

You've been here before 

There is no such place, 

O yes I have seen it too 

Just a little different from how you do, 

A house upon a hill with no windows 

Just a can upon the sill 

To catch your tears 

To feed your garden.
