There's a secret place I like to go Everyone is there but their face don't show If you get inside you can't get out There's no coming back, I hear them shout Welcome to my hide away, my secret place How I arrived I can't explain You're welcome to, if you

You're my favorite song I'd never wanna change a single note It's what I tried to say all along Words don't come easy without a melody I'm always thinking in terms of do-re-mi I should be hiking, swimming, laughing with you Instead I'm all out of tune

Rain rings trash can bells And what do you know My alley becomes a cathedral Eyes can be archways To enter or leave by Vacuums replaced by a crystal Jesus don't let Toronto take my song away It's easy to love if You let yourself love it

Gotta get to me, gotta get to me You gotta spread your wings and start flying Like a drop of rain, gotta find the way Don't hit the brakes, just come and crash through my horizon Bring back the air, I need to breathe, baby You gotta get to me The night

'Cause since I've come on home, Well my body's been a mess And I've missed your ginger hair And the way you like to dress Won't you come on over Stop making a fool out of me Why don't you come on over Valerie? Well sometimes I go out by myself

I wish I was, I wish I was beside you She sleeps alone My heart wants to come home She lies awake I'm trying to find the words to say I wish I was, I wish I was I don't wanna go So close but so far away Within a minute I was all packed up
