Here Nor There
words and music by Stephen Barling

how good does it feel
making love to the wheel?
on and off you're all over
and the blue skies are gone

and if I could have known you
and the strength of your lie
I'd made a path to your heaven
and the place where you died

there's so much to share
and nothing you can own
still we fill our pockets up with stone

and if the oceans turn to dust
would it bring you down?
if it rained forever
would we surely drown?
some say it's neither here nor there
isn't it everywhere?

all in love for a moment
all in line for the day
all the mysteries of home and
our mysterious way

I don't care for the riddles
I don't care for the line
I don't care for the answer
in this mysterious time

all that you seek
shall be your own
and still we fill our pockets up with stone

and if the oceans turn to dust
would it bring you down?
if it rained forever
would we surely drown?
some say it's neither here nor there
isn't it everywhere?

and if god grew to hate us
would he let us down
and leave us in darkness
and keep from us the sound
we'd be neither here nor there
but would we even care?
