Listen to poem:

Places

There were places in the world That we could always hang around To me you are beautiful There were things to figure out Like money, power and the world The sun is beautiful You know I'll keep it burning In the night and in the morning, I keep you close You know the world is dying You know the fire is burning, I keep you close There were memories to write There were voices to be heard To me you are beautiful There were enemies to fight Like loneliness in the night The sun is beautiful You know I'll keep it burning In the night and in the morning I keep you close You know the world dying You know the fire is burning I keep you close When the light has hit your morning when the tears are slowly drying I keep you close When the twilight is the golden From the magic of the moment I keep you close You know I'll keep it burning In the night and in the morning I keep you close You know the world dying You know the fire is burning I keep you close There were things in the world That people had to figure out Like you and me
