I walked across an empty land 00:24

I knew the pathway like the back of my hand 00:29

I felt the earth beneath my feet 00:35

Sat by the river and it made me complete 00:40

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone? 00:46

I'm getting tired and I need someone to rely on 00:51

I came across a fallen tree 01:00

I felt the branches of it looking at me 01:06

Is this the place we used to love? 01:11

Is this the place that I've been dreaming of? 01:17

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone? 01:23

I'm getting old and I need something to rely on 01:28

And if you have a minute why don't we go 01:34

Talk about it somewhere only we know? 01:40

This could be the end of everything 01:46

So why don't we go 01:50

Somewhere only we know 01:53

Somewhere only we know 01:59

02:04

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone? 02:31

I'm getting old and I need someone to rely on 02:37

So tell me when you're gonna let me in 02:43

I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin 02:49

And if you have a minute why don't we go 02:55

Talk about it somewhere only we know? 03:01

'Cause this could be the end of everything 03:07

So why don't we go 03:12

Lyrics:

[English]

I walked across an empty land

I knew the pathway like the back of my hand

I felt the earth beneath my feet

Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?

I'm getting tired and I need someone to rely on

I came across a fallen tree

I felt the branches of it looking at me

Is this the place we used to love?

Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?

I'm getting old and I need something to rely on

And if you have a minute why don't we go

Talk about it somewhere only we know?

This could be the end of everything

So why don't we go

Somewhere only we know

...

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?

I'm getting old and I need someone to rely on

So tell me when you're gonna let me in

I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go

Talk about it somewhere only we know?

'Cause this could be the end of everything

So why don't we go

Somewhere only we know?

...

Somewhere only we know

...
