My Childhood Refuge

I once knew this place of refuge A place where I could go Just had to close my eyes real tight And I'd be there in a flash of light In this secret, special place of mine There was no more pain, no more tears He wasn't there, no evil in sight I went there if he came, day or night Only happiness, love, and kindness was there Only scents of flowers, cookies baking Never knew there, the darkness of night He was never, ever in my sight I knew this place, knew it very well The only place I could run to, to escape him My place of refuge, out of his sight No matter light of day or dark of night
