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 tree
I felt the branches of it 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?
[break]
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
And 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
So why don't we go
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know
Even that Im 35 Y/O, Like to hear new young & fresh music. My feeling about this song is that it talks about a man growing up and madurating, Missing the times when life was not souch complex and wantting to give the next step with somebody and a dreamed place where to live together...
Complex things are just around the bend..If you choose to make your life a complicated one, then it is your choice but remember that SIMPLE things are just lurking in places you'll never would have expected...
Simple things are now far from our reach; it's a sad thing...
Just like everone else, we need to be with simple things in order to have satisfaction. And I mean TRUE SATISFACTION...
As my friend put it, WE ARE ALL LONGING TO BE BACK TO WHERE LIFE IS JUST SIMPLE.
this song makes me think of running away with the person i love. to escape to some secret place. our magical place, to a place where only he and i exist.
