Greg Thomas - sanctuary Lyrics

i toss a penny down the well but i can't wait
and it's too dark to tell
if it ever hits the water

i see you running through the wheat
it looks like rain and you're too sweet
to play the tempting farmer's daughter

i'll take the heat
you turn your pale white back
i'll take the key
from under the welcome mat and we

open the first of many doors
i'll braid your hair and sweep the floor
we'll make a run for sanctuary

forget the trip you planned for may
it doesn't matter anyway
don't turn away from sanctuary

nero, he's my hero
cause he's all decked out in sheets
and leaves with berries
peggy lee don't do the same for me
i can't get too close to fuzzy sweaters

i'll take the heat
you turn your pale white back
i'll take the key
from under the welcome mat and we

open the first of many doors
i'll braid your hair and sweep the floor
we'll make a run for sanctuary

forget the trip you planned for may
it doesn't matter anyway
don't turn away from sanctuary

i hear you calling from the hall
but i can't make out words at all
something like "losing elegance"
i was heading down a path and i will turn but not too fast
you know i lose my balance

i'll take the heat
you turn your pale white back
i'll take the key
from under the welcome mat and we

open the first of many doors
i'll braid your hair and sweep the floor
we'll make a run for sanctuary

forget the trip you planned for may
it doesn't matter anyway
don't turn away from sanctuary
