Joni Mitchell — My Secret Place

[Intro] My secret My secret [Verse 1: 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 [Chorus: Joni Mitchell and Peter Gabriel] I don't go there with anyone, but You're a special case For my special place My special place For my secret place [Refrain: Joni Mitchell] My secret My secret place For my secret place My secret My secret place For my secret place [Verse 2: Joni Mitchell] People talk to tell you something Or to take up space Guess I'm only talking To be talking to your pretty face [Pre-Chorus: Joni Mitchell and Peter Gabriel] I don't talk much to anyone, but You're a special case My special place My secret place [Bridge: Joni Mitchell] 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? [Refrain: Joni Mitchell] My secret My secret place For my secret place My secret My secret place For my secret place [Verse 3: Peter Gabriel and Joni Mitchell] 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 space My special place [Bridge: Joni Mitchell] 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
