Augie March - There Is No Such Place (2006 Version) Lyrics

There is no such place, oh yes I have seen it too
Just a little different from how you do
A river winding blue among the dunes and a marble bay
And a sun that doesn't set but settles

There is no such place
If I lower mine to yours, might 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
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
Oh, come in, come through the door
You've been here before
You've been here before

There is no such place, oh 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
