there’s places I’ve been
I won’t go again.
mmmm, mmmm, mmmm
edge of the earth
so perfect it hurts
mmmm, mmmm, mmmm
seek out the good of your neighbor
open your heart for the stranger
but there once was a spell
at the Driskill Hotel
I was left to myself and a bottle
the walls were too thin
as the noise drifted in
nighthawks out pinning the throttle
waking every sleeping soul
forever I’ll dream
of your eyes with that gleam
mmmm, mmmm, mmmm
we have not reached
the end of this beach
mmmm, mmmm, mmmm
watch where you’re keeping your treasure
lose your life, keep it forever
and I watched a live band
from my native land
steeped in the sadness of longing
found my ears wishing for
your boots on that floor
to dance till the morning was dawning
I was far too young to cry
oh, there’s places I’ve been
I won’t go again
mmmm, mmmm, mmmm
edge of the earth
so perfect it hurts
mmmm, mmmm, mmmm
mmmm, mmmm, mmmm
mmmm, mmmm, mmmm
mmmm, mmmm, mmmm
