Sanctuary is a song written by Sarah Siskind, Jill Andrews and Gary Nicholson and performed by Deacon Claybourne, Maddie Conrad & Daphne Conrad in the Season Five episode I'll Fly Away.
Although it is originally arranged for Juliette Barnes to perform it, she suggests to Maddie that she should perform it instead since Rayna was her mother but after being unable to finish the song due to her grief Deacon and Daphne step in to help her sing it.
Maddie sings it acapella after being interviewed in New York in the following episode.
It is featured on The Music of Nashville (Season 5, Volume 1).
Lyrics[]
Turn the light off, go to bed
Tell me all about the day you had
Lay beside me, it's time to rest
You can close your eyes, you've done your best
Let me be your sanctuary
Let me be your safe place to fall
I can take away your worries
The refuge from it all
All this time
We have together
Is our shelter from the rain
I will share the weight you carry
Let me be your sanctuary
We have withered through the storms
Taking comfort in each other's arms
When the dark clouds come again
I will lift you up and take you in
Let me be your sanctuary
Let me be your safe place to fall
I can take away your worries
The refuge from it all
All this time
We have together
Is our shelter from the rain
I will share the weight you carry
Let me be your sanctuary
I will share this weight you carry
Let me be your sanctuary
