A Place In My Mind

There's a place in my mind where I like to go when I want to get away

Forget the world around me and escape when I could use a better day

And the people on the street know my name and they greet me with a smile

If I could leave it all for good I know I would and stay a little while

I step out of frame from my thoughts and step barefoot into the creek

I feel the calming wind upon my skin mossy rock beneath my feet

In early June the laurels bloom and flood the scent of that sweet mountain breeze

And the eager rays of sunlight they shine so bright as they filter through the trees

Far away are the days and the way of life of that place from where I came

And I know I can't go back even if I did it wouldn't look the same

I've grown weary of this state of helplessness as I watch the world unwind
