Sanctuary Songtext
von John Smith

Drinking hard in circles, trying to forget
Lost a card or two
And found myself in bed
She told me it was nothing
And I could not disagree

So I woke up desperate for a little air
With my coat and my change
I stumbled out of there
Into the freezing morning
Let it lead me anywhere

I saw the future with eyes wide open
Across a river of fallen leaves
And though you′re gone, I was kind of hoping
You'd still be there to shelter me
And I would find some sanctuary


I watched you run like crazy chasing all those dreams
I tried to follow close
But I ran out of steam
I knew I had lost you
Long before you had to leave

Walking past the station
Getting colder now
Remembering how you waited there
Your first time in this town
And how it felt to hold you
As the evening sun went down

I saw the future with eyes wide open
Across a river of fallen leaves
And though you′re gone, I was kind of hoping
You'd still be there to shelter me
And I would find some sanctuary

Ooh, gotta let it go, let it go
I can't keep aligning the stars
I′m a fool if I think that wine and a stranger
Waking up wasted ever fixed a broken heart
But it′s a place to start


I saw the future with eyes wide open
Across a river of fallen leaves
And though you're gone, I was kind of hoping
You′d still be there to shelter me
And I would find some sanctuary
