Nothing Else Will Do Lyrics - All Our Own Work - Sandy Denny

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. 

Nothing else will do, babe 

Nothing else will do.
