Sanctuary (Leaving It Behind)
By Fedora Rex
Sanctuary (Leaving It Behind)
Verse 1
I shut down the lights and I turn off the phone
Close the office door tight, and now I’m back home
Spent eight long hours in the corporate gray
Chasing deadlines and the noise of the day
I shut down the laptop, let the screen go dark,
Swap the stiff office chair for my favorite part
Verse 2
I look down the hall, see the smile on your face
My best friend, my rock, in our own quiet place
You smile and welcome me as i walk into the room
With a hug you hold me, Now I'm safe from the doom
It can’t cross the threshold that we’ve built in this home.
Chorus
Let the wind blow cold, let the thunder roll high
They can’t touch the peace inside you and I
We pull each other close while the music plays slow
Dancing through the room, letting everything go
You’re my shelter, my shadow, my place in the sun
My sanctuary when all the work is done.
Verse 3
We don't need a crowd and we don't need a scene
Just the two of us swaying in the quiet between
Every heavy-handed rule that they make in this world
Fades away to the groove of the music I share with my girl
I spin you around, feel your hand in my hand
And I’m standing right here with the best in the land.
Chorus
Let the wind blow cold, let the thunder roll high
They can’t touch the peace inside you and I
We pull each other close while the music plays slow
Dancing through the room, letting everything go
You’re my shelter, my shadow, my place in the sun
My sanctuary when all the work is done.
Bridge
They can keep all their ladder-climbing, power, and praise
I just want this song at the end of my days
With the bass in the floorboards and your head on my chest
We're leaving the world behind and foget the rest.
Chorus
Let the wind blow cold, let the thunder roll high
They can’t touch the peace inside you and I
We pull each other close while the music plays slow
Dancing through the room, letting everything go
You’re my shelter, my shadow, my place in the sun
My sanctuary when all the work is done.
Outro
Yeah, just you and me...
Turn the music up loud.
Leave it all behind.
