i walked across, an empty land
i knew the pathway like the back of my hand
i felt the earth, beneath my feet
sat by the river and it made me complete
oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
i'm getting old and i need something to rely on
so tell me when, you're gonna let me in
i'm getting tired and i need somewhere to begin.

i came across, a fallen elm tree,
i felt the branches; are they looking at me?
is this the place, we used to love?
is this the place that i've been dreaming of?

oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
i'm getting old and i need something to rely on
so tell me when, you're gonna let me in
i'm getting tired and i need somewhere to begin
so if you have a minute why don't we go
talk about it somewhere only we know?
this could be the end of everything
so why don't we go, somewhere only we know
somewhere only we know.

so why don't we go, so why don't we go.

hmmm yeahh.

this could be the end of everything
so why don't we go, somewhere only we know,
somewhere only we know
somewhere only we know.
