No Way There from Here Lyrics

I was sittin' in the dark
As the band played on
Listenin' to the words
Of an old Southern songIt was a January day
But it felt just like June
I could feel the heat of the house gettin' late in the dayYour hand in mine as we made our way
Cool green grass as we lay right down
When I knew who I was
And who I wanted to beBut there's no way there from here
No bridge across the ocean
No path up through the mountain
Or trip back through the years
Or the tears
There's no way there from here
No turn I might have takenEach day when I awaken
The dream that seemed so clear
Disappears
There's no way there from hereThe fights fluttered by like the pages of a book

That fell from the shelf while the dishes shook
Tattered bits of flattery
Not just for my vanityI would take you out or tuck you in
Be there when your day begin
Hold you while you drift to sleep
And be the one
Your dreams to keepBut there's no way there from here
No bridge across the ocean
No path up through the mountain
Or trip back through the years
Or the tears
There's no way there from here
No turn I might have takenEach day when I awaken
The dream that seemed so clear
Disappears
There's no way there from hereI was sittin' in the dark
As the band played on
Listenin' to the words
of an old Southern song
