Nowhere To Go

  • I heard the thunder
    So I braced for the rain
    I tried to get out from under
    But all was in vain

    There's no way to stop it from pouring
    Buckets down from the sky
    When you're stuck in a cloud
    And there's nowhere to go but down

    You try to think about something
    To erase all the pain
    But you come up with nothing
    All your thoughts are in vain

    When your spirit is falling
    Plummeting from on high
    All you see is the ground
    When there's nowhere to go but down

    There's nowhere to go but down

    Nowhere to go but down
    When you thought it could not go lower
    Down, as if under some old lawn mower
    Life's been running you over

    Everything's in slow motion
    That hasn't come to a holt
    Feels like all you emotions
    Have been locked in a vault

    It's like you're stuck in a painting
    Unable to cry
    Or to make a sound
    And there's nowhere to go but down

    The gravity of the moment
    Plucked you out the sky
    For trying to walk on the clouds
    When there's nowhere to go, nowhere to go but down

    Nowhere to go but down
    Nowhere to go but down Writer/s: Ron Sexsmith
