Nowhere Near Home
Here we are completely alone
we can’t identify the view
only that it’s nowhere near home
Come on dance to these blues
spin out the lives we’ve made together
turn and turn again, you can’t lose
(chorus)
It’s time
time to step out
into pure light
and slip
slip away
I owe you everything down to the bone
there’s a dark whisper in the corner
looking like it knows its cover is blown
There’s time before we fade
ride out, let the night swallow
all the problems we made
(chorus)
We’ll take the only reasonable way
holding each other’s dreams
I’ll catch you if you fall, you’re ok
You speak of a ghost
lingering around you
turns out he’s our host
It’s time
time to step out
into pure light
and slip
slip away
Here we are completely alone
we can’t identify the place
only that it’s nowhere near home

I don't know if it's your delivery, but the melody is kind of elusive. I listened a second time and got my mind around it😊. Although some might like a melody they can grasp immediately, it's not a bad thing in my book.
The lyric is also elusive. I'm not sure that I got it exactly, but it interested me as I listened. Good one.

One of the best pieces I have heard in a long time.
Exceptional song well done, outstanding.

I think the lack of melody may be due to my sing/talk method - thinking of doing another take soon. Thanks
Thanks very much Sid - that means a lot to me.

An interesting piece! Let's hope that's the way of it. Doesn't sound too bad a way to go out!
The chorus is the heart of it, as it should be. Ties everything together.
I like the "it’s nowhere near home" line. It avoids having to establish a visual but gives a sense of foreignness and perhaps unease.

I liked those lines too!
Is the guitar in tune here? Could be just my ears but it sounded a touch flat.
It's a moody, memorable song. And that's a good thing.

Always love your one man staccato like expression and deep lyrical stories. Very unique and interesting listening.
