Lucy Kaplansky - Nowhere Lyrics
So cold todayWind is blowingYou turn your face awayCan hardly see where you're goingWalking downtownEighth Street, Washington SquareStepping carefullyIn the footprints someone left thereWhile the city all around youBecomes only paper thinAnd the wind on your faceIs freezing someone else's skinAnd the sun is making moviesSlo-mo black and whiteYou wish you could breathe the cold airAnd feel it move insideI know what it is to be nowhereI know what it's likeI know what it is to be nowhereLong ago in your roomPretended you were far awayThen you looked into your mother's eyesSaw no one was reflected thereNow your secrets are your companionsYou know them all by heartThey're written on your bodyYou read them in the darkCarved underneath your sweaterSo you'll always rememberAt least they're something to hold ontoHold ontoI know what it is to be nowhereI know what it's likeI know what it is to be nowhereNowhereWalking downtownTo a place you've never been beforeGo inside and say your nameAnd close the doorGo inside, say your nameAnd close the doorGo insideGo insideGo inside
