Post #607: Keane - "Somewhere Only We Know" - Hopes and Fears

So it's definitely that time of year again when I resume my soul-quenching, meditational walks around White Rock Lake.  With the help of my Pandora mix, I am seriously in nothing less than pure bliss.  There is so much beauty to take in from nature if you ever slow down enough and allow yourself time to enjoy such.  Instead of walking at a quicker exercise-worthy pace, I took more of a leisurely stroll and killed almost two hours today watching the sail boats and the various wildlife.  It was also a bit warmer today than I had hoped, so the slower pace was perfect for my first time back in months.

I've been meaning to post about today's song at various times in the past, but for some reason, another song always seemed to win out.  Now that I'm no longer limiting myself to one day of posting per week, I finally got around to sharing this tune with you.  It's one of those songs that gives me warm fuzzies every time I hear it... kind of like snuggling up into cozy sheets fresh out of the dryer like I'm about to do here shortly!

So, as I was walking around the lake today, this tune came on my Pandora station.  I haven't really ever shared my time at White Rock Lake with anyone (other than Pixie), so there's really no "we" to reminisce about with regard to this song and that location.  I suppose that I'm just getting a bit giddy about the fact that, in a few short months, I will no longer be driving to my beloved site... instead, it will be just a matter of a simple walk down a nature trail to get to the lake.  And despite the fact that I spent yet another weekend alone, I'm happy to now admit that I'm more open to the idea of one day having a "we" to potentially think/reminisce about while listening to today's song and possibly even invite to the lake with me... enjoy!

Until next time...

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?

Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go?
So why don't we go?

Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah

This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?
