[Verse 1] Morning light upon his bed Sun’s rays caress his head Yet his eyes, they do not see Dwelling upon some mystery He does not sing as the others do He shies away from touching you Nor sees the tears upon your face His mind is in another place [Chorus] I wonder long, night and day What he sees when he’s away What does he feel there? Only he knows In the place where only he goes [Verse 2] At times, he shows a gentle heart Then rage comes out to tear apart Faith and belief in what is fair More grief than anyone should bear All alone, his eyes simply stare His feet walking paths to nowhere And when sleep says the day is done Never heard nor spoke to anyone [Chorus] I wonder long through night and day What he hears when he’s away Is he lonely there? Only he knows In the place where only he goes [Bridge] I beg you, come, there’s nothing to fear I will hold you, keep you near I can love you, just let me try But your eyes again say goodbye [Chorus] Tearful prayers, said night and day To know what he thinks when he’s away Is he happy there? Only he knows In the place where only he goes [Outro] At night he rests, his mind at peace And I to bed for some release For tomorrow he’ll wake, and then he’ll flee Off to that place again, without me
