Here's another new song demo. This song has been rattling around in my head for years, but I was never able to get the right situation together to record it. I am glad I at least have a demo now, with all the parts included.
NOWHERE ELSE AT ALL
By Brad Rourke
They roll
Across my back
Soul after soul after soul
To work
Back again
It makes no sense or difference where they go
If I could choose my day
And only do what spoke to me
I would crumble into rubble
And I'd leave the road alone
To make its noise
Only thing
I got no choice
So here I'll stand
Alone for one and all
The bridge from nowhere near
Crossing over into
Nowhere else at all
Above they drive
Below they walk
A backpack and a gun to call their home
No one sees
Beneath their feet
The city stretches out take its own
They all rely on me
Those above and those below
I wish that I could choose
And serve the ones
Who need it most
And won't say so
Only thing
I got no choice
So here I'll stand
Alone for one and all
The bridge from nowhere near
Crossing over into
Nowhere else at all
In the rain
That never stops
There's shelter underneath my steady back
For a man
Who's lost his luck
Who don't suppose it's ever coming back
I'll be the walls and roof
All for this man to give him proof
That something he relied on
Listened to him when he thought
He'd lost his voice
Only thing
I got no choice
So here I'll stand
And shelter one and all
The bridge from nowhere near
Crossing over into
Nowhere else at all
