if i knew a place
(lawrence) 

You wanted more than this
You wanted simple things
A camper van and old blue jeans
They gave you polyester
They gave you windolene
A cubicle and a routine  

If I knew a place where we could go
Somewhere the moonlight hits the snow
Somewhere the stars are shining bright
I’d take you tonight  

Cemented flower beds
Graffiti in the dene
We star on closed circuit TV
Electronic communication
Drive time on the BBC
A life in cinderblock buildings  

If I knew a place where we could go
Somewhere the moonlight hits the snow
Somewhere the stars are shining bright
I’d take you tonight

Cheap suits and instant coffee
Neckties and purple skies
Office clones droning on the telephone
You’re a modern constellation
The light that guides me home
You are a movement all your own

EXTENDED CHORUS:
If I knew a place where we could go
Somewhere the moonlight hits the snow
Somewhere the stars are shining bright
I’d take you tonight

If I knew a place where we could be
You could be you and I’d be me
A little house out by the sea
There must be a place…
