No Way There From Here

I was sittin' in the dark
 As the band played on
 Listenin' to the words
 Of an old Southern song
 It was a January day
 But it felt just like June
 I could feel the heat of the house gettin' late in the day
 Your hand in mine as we made our way
 Cool green grass as we lay right down
 When I knew who I was
 And who I wanted to be
 But there's no way there from here
 No bridge across the ocean
 No path up through the mountain
 Or trip back through the years
 Or the tears
 There's no way there from here
 No turn I might have taken
 Each day when I awaken
 The dream that seemed so clear
 Disappears
 There's no way there from here
 The fights fluttered by like the pages of a book
 That fell from the shelf while the dishes shook
 Tattered bits of flattery
 Not just for my vanity
 I would take you out or tuck you in
 Be there when your day begin
 Hold you while you drift to sleep
 And be the one
 Your dreams to keep
 But there's no way there from here
 No bridge across the ocean
 No path up through the mountain
 Or trip back through the years
 Or the tears
 There's no way there from here
 No turn I might have taken
 Each day when I awaken
 The dream that seemed so clear
 Disappears
 There's no way there from here
 I was sittin' in the dark
 As the band played on
 Listenin' to the words
 of an old Southern song
