Place

There's a key somewhere " where did I put it
Maybe it's in the car
Maybe it's in a cabinet
Is it in my pocket
Is it in my case
I keep thinkin' about that key
I think about the key
More than what's locked up
What's locked up in that place
What's so special about those things
That I don't want them changed
I want it all like it was
I left it before
We all got to have something unchanged
I want it all like it was,I left it before
We all got to have something unchanged
That we can take for granted
Some place, some object, some constructed thing
We made a thing, and it needs perfection
Who want to be the one
Who makes a change
To this little place
This protected spot
So where's the key
I want to turn the latch
Unlock that place
And see what's there
How can I do what I need to do
In that place with those freed-up things
Laughing and joking and having fun
In an unlocked, freed-up, special place
Where did I put that key
I know it's someplace
Where did I put it
Maybe it's here
Maybe it's there
