Lyrics

I walked a cross

an emp ty land.

I knew the path way like the (G)back of my hand.

I felt the earth

be neath my feet.

Sat by the riv er and it (G)made me com plete.

Oh, sim ple thing,

where have you gone?

I’m get ting tired and I need (Dm)some one to re (G)ly on.

And if you have a (C)min ute, why don’t we go

talk a bout it (C)some where on ly we know.

This could be the (Em)end of ev ’ry thing.

(F)So why don’t we go some where on ly (G)we (Em)know.
