Nowhere to Be

Instrumental

Intro

Shutters half closed and the afternoon slows

(afternoon slows)

Stripes on the tiles where the sunshine goes

Verse

Ceiling fan clicking, the same lazy turn

(same lazy turn)

Nothing to finish and nothing to earn

Half of a peach on a blue china plate

(blue china plate)

Juice on your wrist and the clock's running late

Refrain

Nowhere to be, nowhere to be

(nowhere to be)

Cicadas are counting the minutes for me

Interlude

Verse

Radio next door in a language I can't speak

(can't speak)

Salt still drying on the curve of your cheek

Linen and lavender, a book left unread

(book left unread)

Sand in the sheets of the unmade bed

Refrain

Nowhere to be, nowhere to be

(nowhere to be)

Cicadas are counting the minutes for me

Classical Guitar Solo

Breakdown

Hush now, the village is sleeping as well

(sleeping as well)

Only the goats and the church's old bell

Spoken

"Created by DarkPrincess - Royalty of the Night

Wake me up later, when the heat feels right"

Verse

First cool air coming in through the slats

(in through the slats)

Somewhere a neighbour is calling the cats

Hook

Lie here a little, the day's letting go

(day's letting go)

Pink-painted walls and the swallows down low

Tomorrow can wait by the gate with the keys

(gate with the keys)

Here we just breathe in the lemon trees
