My Secret Place (With Joni Mitchell)

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 s***e
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 s***e
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
