Lyrics Tell Me Where You've Been - Hotel Eden

Tell Me Where You've Been

Everybody needs somewhere to go
Even if they’ve got no one to know
Simple pleasures always seem
Like photographs of distant dreams
Broke and calling home
Sand are white and skies are blue
Clouds stop by and pour a little
Pot of tea for two
Everybody needs a sun to shine
Even if they cover it all the time
The tiny candle warms your hands
Fire burns in distant lands
Sparking and it’s gone
Moonlight covers different faces
In ancient times and modern places
The man keeps looking on
Tell me where you’ve been
Tell me clock, now, what’s your trouble?
Do you make excuses with your hands?
Tell me what you know
If these walls could talk, they wouldn’t
But you’ve been close to me, closer than some think
I’ve been around a block or two
But you’ve been hanging, paying dues
So share with me some things your time has seen
Everybody needs some air to breathe
Even if they’ve got no one to leave
Wounded hands holds bitter drink
From underneath the kitchen sink
Alone on Christmas Eve
Wrapped up tight in years of guilt
While baby brother pours the milk
Quite the sight to see
Tell me where you’ve been
Tell me clock, now, what’s your trouble?
Do you make excuses with your hands?
Tell me what you know
If these walls could talk, they wouldn’t
But you’ve been close to me, closer than some think
Tell me where you’ve been
Tell me clock, now, what’s your trouble?
Do you make excuses with your hands?
Tell me what you know
If these walls could talk, they wouldn’t
But you’ve been close to me, closer than some think
I’ve been around a block or two
But you’ve been hanging, paying dues
So share with me some things your time has seen
