I'm Between a Rock and a Hard Place - Clarence Carter

And she came to look for me Sold me name and innocence Took my key And told me to follow her down From igor with her bangles and her reference One from the church from the valley of the Well she wanted a haven and a place to hide So I gave her an alibi took her inside but And a rock and a hard place await for for me Between the devil and the deep blue sea Everything I ever did right or wrong Hid out of sight where I belong, belong And I didn't have the heart to tell her why And there wasn't a part of me that Didn't want to say goodbye but 'Cause and effect go hand in hand with The devil may care but I don't mind And I thought she'd never quite understand so I Left her there that night But will she find me? I don't think so, no When you go, you go alone and I'm gone Far away, far away Far away, far away And I didn't have the heart to tell why And there wasn't a part of me That didn't want to say goodbye but A rock and a hard place await for for me Between the devil and the deep blue sea Everything I ever did right or wrong Hid out of sight where I belong, belong A rock and a hard place await for for me Between the devil and the deep blue sea Everything I ever did right or wrong Hid out of sight where I belong, belong A rock and a hard place await for for me Between the devil and the deep blue sea Everything I ever did right or wrong Hid out of sight where I belong, belong

There is a place A time and a space No one can trace That no one can trace Somewhere a hill Where things are still Just rain water spill Just rain water spill Sleep in a dream Of butter milk cream You dance on a beam Dancing on a beam Save me from this shallow land Take me out of temper's hand Drag me from the burning sand Show me those that understand Save me from this shallow land Take me out of temper's hand Drag me from the burning sand Show me those that understand Rest in shade No sound he's made Where silence is played Sound of silence played

There's a secret place I like to go Everyone is there but their face don't show If you get inside, you can't get out "There's no coming back", I hear them shout Welcome to my hideaway, my secret place How I arrived, I can't explain You're welcome, too, if you wanna stay But everyone just runs away There's a secret place I like to go Everyone is there but their face don't show If you get inside, you can't get out "There's no coming back", I hear them shout Let me in, get me out Can't do more than twist and shout Lost my soul without a trace Found it again in my secret place Let me in, get me out Can't do more than twist and shout Lost my soul without a trace In disgrace I hide from those that try to find me Scary things that's right behind me I lost myself, I must confess I can't explain how I got this mess Welcome to my hideaway, my secret place How I arrived, I can't explain You're welcome, too, if you wanna stay But everyone just runs away My secret place (There's a secret place) My secret place (There's a secret place I like to go) My secret place (There's a secret place) Just runs away, my secret place
