Lyrics

I KNOW THE PLACE (WHERE LOVERS GO)
(Timothy Brickley and David Rheins)

She told him she loved him, nearly said I do,
then quickly hit the streets.
Lied to his face laying to his back,
she slept between new sheets.
Street-corner drizzle, this apartment’s a dive,
I’m a dumb, poetic loner.
I stare out my window at the world outside,
sometimes she seems like a goner, a goner.

But I know the place where lovers go
and everybody’s truthful.
Silver light shining in their eyes,
eternal and youthful, youthful.
Yes, I know the place where lovers go.
I know the place where lovers go.

Once upon a time in a faraway place,
I held a love of beauty and grace.
Making love in the morning, being held in the light,
but pretty soon time took love for a ride.
Time took my love to the edge of the city,
looked over the walls at the circus so pretty.
Look at that big world waiting outside,
gave love a ticket and love took a ride, died.
Yes, I know the place where lovers go.
I know where love is.

But I know the place where lovers go
and everybody’s truthful.
Silver light shining in their eyes,
eternal and youthful, youthful.
Yes, I know the place where lovers go.
I know the place where lovers go.

One day soon I’ll back at the Ranch,
I will ride a new pony to the “Saddle Of Love”.
Taste the sweet sweat on her beautiful shoulder,
We’ll stare at the stars as the night air grows colder.
But tonight, when there’s no-one here to call out my name,
I’ll stare at the ceiling but still feel the same
I can remember that feeling, tender and hot
Lost in the lovely labyrinth of lust.
I know the place where lovers go.
I know where love is.

But I know the place where lovers go
and everybody’s truthful.
Silver light shining in their eyes,
eternal and youthful, youthful.
Yes, I know the place where lovers go.
I know the place where lovers go.
