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.
