Neither Here Nor There

Meg Hutchinson

Here is the house, orchards on the hill and here the farm



Gardens and a barn and it's quiet, on these back roads



We're the last to get plowed out, when it snows



And we're building a new room



There'll be five of us come June



And through the windows, the voices of the one I love the most



They're making little boats and







Who could say I need anything else



Who could say I could have made more of myself?



I could have been neither here nor there







Here is the car, here the map and here the bus and here the train,



I'm leaving you again



Another motel, another ticket for the plane



Another city of strangers, who know me by name and



I am made of whims and praise



There is nothing familiar at the end of the day



So much road...







And who could say I need anything else?



Who could say I could have made more of myself?



I could have been neither here nor there







Here on the phone, in a truck stop, late for the big show



Oh God I miss you you know and







Who could say I need anything else?



And who could say I could have made more of myself?



I could have been, neither here nor there,



But I have been neither here nor there







So much for the best of both worlds



Here nor there, yes I have been, neither here nor there
