My gate is swinging open, my fence is broken down
My window's staring blindly
Greets the callers with a frown
But 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
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
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
