Little Switzerland

I.

With my bloodshot eyes and my beat up face

Oh how I’ve come to hate this place around me

The only way that I can keep on kicking is to get back to where I used to be

Things were so different way back when

I wish I know now what I knew then about it

But it’s been so long and I feel so sickened, feel just like I’ve been stricken down

I guess I just reaped exactly what I’ve sown

Oh dear Lord, take my hand

Lead me back to Little Switzerland

II.

So high up in the misty town, you couldn’t see anything for miles and miles around you

Oh but it was pretty just take my word, the mountains cut the sky and the waterfall’s all you heard

I wouldn’t know the man I am now, ‘cause life was so simple when you broke it down to basics

Well I see the symptom I can see the cause but I can’t get over just how much I lost

Please take me back to where I was

Oh dear Lord, take my hand

Lead me back to Little Switzerland

III.

Fifteen years since I left that town, I either make it back or this is where I go under

Tell me that it’s all gonna be alright, tell me that I’m gonna make it through another night

I wish I could remember where it went so wrong, I wish I could remember why I left the first time

But I’ve fallen slow that I can’t get up, so please don’t say that this is where it ends

Oh just a chance to make amends

Oh dear Lord, take my hand

Lead me back to Little Switzerland

Little Switzerland is pure and it is fine

It’s the only place I’m ever gonna ease my mind

Take the north road up, past the falls,

Church on your left and you can’t miss it at all

There’s the guest house up on top of the peak

Graveyard backed up onto the creek

And it all looks out on the misty wood

Take me back to when I was good

And if I had the chance to ever go back

I swear I’d never leave, leave that secret land

Oh dear Lord, take my hand

Lead me back to Little Switzerland
