My Secret Place Lyrics - Singles - Mitchell Joni

I'm going to take you to 

My special place 

It's a place that you 

Like no one else I know 

Might appreciate 

I don't go there with anyone--but 

You're a special case 

For my special place 

For my secret place 

People talk to tell you something 

Or to take up space 

Guess I'm only talking 

To be talking to 

Your pretty face 

I don't talk much to anyone--but 

You're a special case 

For my special place 

My secret place 

I was born and raised 

In New York City 

I'm just getting used to Colorado-- 

Oh street bravado 

Carry me 

Why did you bring me to 

A place so wild and pretty? 

Are there pigeons in this park-- 

Muggers after dark-- 

In these golden trees-- 

In the secret place? 

I'm going to take you to 

My special place 

It's a place no amount of hurt and anger 

Can deface 

I put things back together there 

It all falls right in place-- 

In my special space 

My special place 

Once I saw a film 

In New York City 

That was shot in Colorado-- 

Girl meets desperado 

In the trembling mountain trees 

Out of all of the girls that you see 

In bleachers and cafe windows 

Sitting--flirting with someone 

Looking to have some fun 

Why did you pick me? 

For the secret place
