My Secret Place by Michael Cohen Songbook from Pergola Italy

my secret place is my favorite of the songs i have written.

liz sumner- vocal
michael cohen- music, lyrics, orchestration

there is a place that you’ll never find
and i know the way but i’ll never tell
am i being selfish or unkind
if i want to keep it all to to myself

one little piece of the garden of eden
before eve and adam’s fall from grace
i know that i can find all i need in
my secret place

2) is it over the next hill, just past the next town
just ‘round the corner of your eye?
is it the fork in the road that you never went down
the piece of the map that has been torn away?
k
when i go there i always know there
i’ll be lost to time and space
just the other side of somewhere it’s
my secret place

sometimes i wish i could linger there forever
content as a cat napping in the sun
but my ties to the world are too strong to sever
and there is too much work to be done

3) so please never ask me for directions,
i’ll never say if it’s far or near
it’s not that this place needs my protection
it’s just that you can’t get there from here

when there are no more songs for this singer
when i’m finally in the earth’s embrace
i hope a part of me will still linger in
my secret place
