Nobody Knows It But Me

“There’s a place I travel when I want to roam, and nobody knows it but me.

The roads don’t go there and the signs stay home, and nobody know it but me.

It’s far, far away and way, way afar, it’s over the moon and the sea

And wherever you’re going that’s wherever you are.

And nobody knows it but me.”

~Patrick O’Leary
