Special Places from Midnight Cowboy by Tim Sawyer

VERSE 1
Something special about an empty place
Something makes us wanna hang around
It’s like time hits different, we’re there for hours
But the sun took a stop in the sky

Sunset flashes, new horizon queen
Holy shining on the evergreen
Perfect picture, winter coats and blacked out minds
Slowly warming up ‘round the fire

Blister bleeding hands and muddy boots
Piling wood up like in damn cartoons
Handing cold ones over to the ones we know
Like a gift that’s coming right from above

CHORUS
Special places we keep in mind, when life is all shivers and rain
Special places healing souls and minds when you feel like you’re locked into chains
You’d start over again...

VERSE 2
Behind the man hides sadness and grief
Deeply drowned in jim and jack
Like rust to gold, he’ll wake up alone
And pours it all dry in the sink

She is single, though she knows a man
She’d trust from now on ‘til the end
Maybe forever, and maybe one night
She’d want him to hold her tonight

I’m standing there, silent and eased
Chainsmoking ‘til I can’t breathe
My memory’s fuzzy, my mind’s all clear
I’d smile one last time then and I’ll leave

CHORUS
Special places we keep in mind, when life is all shivers and rain
Special places healing souls and minds when you feel like you’re locked into chains
You’d start over again...
