Strawbs - Nothing Else Will Do lyrics

rate me

My gate is swinging open<br />

My fence is broken down<br />

My window's staring blindly<br />

Greets the callers with a frown<br />

And I need a place to hide away<br />

When I am feeling blue.<br />

<br />

Nothing else will do, babe<br />

Nothing else will do.<br />

<br />

I've got no friends to turn to<br />

When I am feeling low<br />

I'm lonely sad and empty<br />

Most everywhere I go<br />

I'd like to leave the world behind<br />

And try and start anew.<br />

<br />

Nothing else will do, babe<br />

Nothing else will do.<br />

<br />

All I ever wanted<br />

Was a place to call my own<br />

A place that's quiet and peaceful<br />

Where I can feel so all alone<br />

I've been told this place is heaven<br />

I wonder if it's true.<br />

<br />

Nothing else will do, babe<br />

Nothing else will do.<br />

<br />

But it seems the path to heaven<br />

Is always round the bend<br />

And always in the distance<br />

There's a road that has no end<br />

But I will hope to find it<br />

Before my life is through.<br />

<br />

Nothing else will do, babe<br />

Nothing else will do.
