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
