Lyrics for There Is No Such Place

There is no such place Oh, 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 And a sun that doesn't set but settles There is no such place If I lower mine to yours Might 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 Oh, come in, come in You've been here before There is no such place So perhaps we have a reason For a 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 Oh, come in, come through the door You've been here before You've been here before There is no such place But 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
