Nowhere Songtext
von Carmen McRae

Comfortably ensconced in his favorite bistro
Lookin′ for all the world, like, "Just how far can this go?"
That's all, little Boy Blue
All alone at a table for two

Sittin′ head in hand
His heart in his drinkin'
Diggin' the baby grand
Just to keep from thinkin′

My stro, do you do requests? You do?
Well, will you do me a tune?
A happy tight tune
But don′t you dare to mention that moon up there
That blob of green cheese has had my heart on its knees
Where does it get me? Nowhere


Do me a tune, a happy tight tune
But skip that stupid, cupid routine, so swear
That dark-slingin' crow someday will get me, I know
But in the meantime, nowhere

Nowhere, my heart and I agree
Love′s nowhere, it can't do that to me
First time I lost this heart of mine
I′ll lose it to another girl's valentine

Maybe someday, when this goes away
And I begin to wear in that springtime air
I′ll change my request, and want that little loveness
But, in the meantime, nowhere

Nowhere, my heart and I agree
Love's nowhere, it can't do that to me
First time I turned this old heart loose
Went out on a hallow howlin′
And back to loose

Maybe someday, when this goes away
And I begin to wear in that springtime air
I′ll change my requests, want that little loveness
But in the meantime, nowhere!
