Nothing Else Will Do - Strawbs

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.
