Sanctuary
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I walk the twilight zone beyond the city lights
In search of peace of mind I stole into the night
Tried to hide away from everything that threatened my existence
I showed resistance
Up there big brother's got his tabs on where I go
They tried to force me down a road where I can go
So you imagine how I felt when you said "Baby I can understand"
Touched my hand
You are my sanctuary
When I'm in your arms you take me away
You are my sanctuary
When I'm in despair I reach out and you're always there
You're always there
Beyond the skyways through the looking glass I roam
Into the never-never I found a star that glowed
And I descended on my last true wing and prayer
and you were standing there the one that cared
chorus
When there's no escaping and I panic in the night
I can run to you for cover
'Cos you'll always make it right
chorus x2
