No Place Away - Greg Brown

Are strokes along the thigh-

A long slow seduction

On an Autumn night-

When Autumn, was still Autumn

Wait a minute now

Everybody just hold it

Let’s think about this

Whoa, whoa now

Ain’t there no place away?

And I tryed to hide-

Live there like I used to

But the sadness sent me

Letters every day

Sayin' there’s-

There’s no place away

Tell me where the hope lies

To bear the world

To bear the destruction

In which we all participate

Tell me where the hope lies

To bear the world

To bear the destruction

In which we all participate

Oh I wanna hear-

Words like notes

Are strokes along the thigh-

A long slow seduction

On an Autumn night-

When Autumn, was still Autumn

Pour me out some hot tea

And build up the fire

We’ll sit here and listen

To the ancient choir

Singin', singin', singin', singin', hallelujah

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah
