Sanctuary Run Time: 3:32
Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI) ©1995
engine is hot and the wind is wild
come on darling don't tarry
aren't you weary of dreams and hard luck schemes
this will be our sanctuary
well car is warm from the chill outside
that can creep into your bones
i was trying to remember if i'd brought everything
but there's nothing that you really own
caution to the wind
you can never go back again
we have tried for years to play by their rules
on the ladder of success
and i was stepping up to make the first rung
and saw this vision of my brokenness
well then since that time i became an inspector
of storm damage done for life
i've been picking up the pieces of my might have beens
and i hold them up to the light
as far as the east is from the west
deeper than the deepest ocean
i've been running all my life on borrowed feelings
devoid of emotion
and the windshield wipers are counting time
too heavy for us to carry
oh was that a whisper of the holy ghost
this will be our sanctuary

I love this song. My favorite line: "the car is warm from the chill outside, that can creep into your bones, i was trying to remember if i brought everything, but there's nothing that you really own."
