I used to read Emerson With my head upon you knees In the park of the mansion We were young, careless and free It's a time we won't live again Now I feel this familiar pain I close my eyes and I'm back there Holdin' you, letting the world stare Take me back to Benedict Canyon Take me back to the place I belong Take me back to Benedict Canyon When my faith in beauty was so strong You used to read me John Keats And everything was possible But when you left in a heartbeat I was inconsolable I will cherish these memories Making love under the palm trees The air was warm, we were in sweat The dream lasted with no regrets Take me back to Benedict Canyon Take me back to the place I belong Take me back to Benedict Canyon Where I used to kiss you all day long If I could only turn back The hands of time I'd relive forever The days that you were mine
