A Minor Place

Well I've been to a minor place

and I can say I like its face

if I am gone and with no trace

I will be in a minor place

well I put the shoes in line

separate the women mine

as we do what we do fine

so victorious, so benign

chorus

only take the weather warm

and the job that does me harm

since the scars of last year's storm

rest like maggots on my arm

chorus

thank you man if for the thought

that all my loving can be bought

was wisely in your gullet caught

before my loyalty you sought

chorus

o it's not a desert nor a web

nor a tomb where I lay dead

minor in a sound alone

yes a clear commanding tone

singing from my little point

and aching in my every joint

I thank the world it will anoint me

if I show it how I hold it
