sweet ode to the sanctuary of love

lyrics

Nowhere Else
©2001 Alice Bierhorst/BMI

Morning becomes you
Taps lightly on your shoulder
Just a quick embrace to start the day
Where does the time go
Another nighttime older
But we grew young along the way

CHORUS
NOWHERE ELSE but here
NOWHERE ELSE but here
Could be half as sweet as this
NOWHERE ELSE but here
NOWHERE ELSE but here

Outside the window
The clouds hang low and full of rain
Your footsteps echo
The key turns and once more it's plain
That wherever we go
There's only one reliable place
Where the slings and arrows
Can't follow, they can't follow

CHORUS

I can't imagine how we made it
All of those days
All of those days before
We had anywhere at all

Day breaks beneath us
The Earth is dark and still above
And when she leaves us
They'll be another day to love

CHORUS
