It Takes Me Places

Bare feet landing soft on wet grass
Whiff of Winter, Autumn's last dance
The secret words written on your back
Greenhouse glass, nettle stings, tea shop
A rope on a tree, deathlike heat

At a merry-go-round

All the hurt, every kindness, shame
Every thrill of youth down memory lane
A point of interest on the map of me

And suddenly they take us places, to treasuries
At the door to a heartache
We turn the key and arrive
At a merry-go-round

And suddenly they take us places, to galleries
At the door to a heartache
We turn the key and arrive
At a merry-go-round
