Nothing Else Will do
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.
My gate is swinging open
My fence is broken down
My window's staring blindly
Greets the callers with a frown
And I need a place to hide away
When I am feeling blue.
Nothing else will do, babe
Nothing else will do.
I've got no friends to turn to
When I am feeling low
I'm lonely sad and empty
Most everywhere I go
I'd like to leave the world behind
And try and start anew.
Nothing else will do, babe
Nothing else will do.
All I ever wanted
Was a place to call my own
A place that's quiet and peaceful
Where I can feel so all alone
I've been told this place is heaven
I wonder if it's true.
Nothing else will do, babe
Nothing else will do.
But it seems the path to heaven
Is always round the bend
And always in the distance
There's a road that has no end
But I will hope to find it
Before my life is through.
Nothing else will do, babe
Nothing else will do.
