A Minor Place

[hook] 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 [hook] Only take the weather warm And the job that does me harm The scars of last year's storm Rest like maggots on my arm [hook] 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 [hook] 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
