Nowhere To Go

Ron Sexsmith · Other Songs - Ron Sexsmith

I heard the thunder

So I braced for the rain

I tried to get out from under

But all was in vain



There's no way to stop it from pouring

Buckets down from the sky

When you're stuck in a cloud

And there's nowhere to go but down



You try to think about something

To erase all the pain

But you come up with nothing

All your thoughts are in vain



When your spirit is falling

Plummeting from on high

All you see is the ground

When there's nowhere to go but down



There's nowhere to go but down



Nowhere to go but down

When you thought it could not go lower

Down, as if under some old lawn mower

Life's been running you over



Everything's in slow motion

That hasn't come to a halt

Feels like all your emotions

Have been locked in a vault



It's like you're stuck in a painting

Unable to cry

Or to make a sound

And there's nowhere to go but down



The gravity of the moment

Plucked you out the sky

For trying to walk on the clouds

When there's nowhere, nowhere to go but down



Nowhere to go but down

Nowhere to go but down
