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.
