Closer To NoWhere Lyrics

You were walking alone up Cuadrante

Over cobblestones wet from the rains of the day

With your hair up in clips

And the sway of your hips

How could I've missed

You were walking away?

I've never felt closer to nowhere

I've never been nowhere before

Forgive me my sins and

My trespasses in

To this nowhere outside your front door

Last night I could swear I saw Venus

In the cradle of Scorpio's tail

Like the poisonous diamond between us

And the blood that we left back on the trail.

Blame makes a man feel guilty

Shame makes a man want to die

But nothing hurts worse

Or compares to the curse

Of that thousand mile look in your eyes

Now the shadows are long on Cuadrante

As Mission bells toll the remains of the day

There's a slow rolling train

On the Alamos plain

Heard someone say you were

Headed that way

And I've never felt closer to nowhere

I've never been nowhere before

Forgive me my sins and my trespasses in

To this nowhere outside your front door

To this nowhere outside your front door

I'm still walking the street they call

Cuadrante
