A Minor Place

Will Oldham

[Chorus]
Well, I've been to a minor place
And I can say I like its face
If I am gone and with no trace
I will be in my minor place

[Verse 1]
Well, I put the shoes in line
Separate the women mine
As we do what we do fine
So victorious, so benign

[Chorus]
Well, I've been to a minor place
And I can say I like its face
If I am gone and with no trace
I will be in my minor place

[Verse 2]
Only take the weather warm
And the job that does me harm
Since the scars of last year's storm
Rest like maggots on my arm

[Chorus]
Well, I've been to a minor place
And I can say I like its face
If I am gone and with no trace
I will be in my minor place

[Verse 3]
Thank you man if for the thought
That all my loving can be bought
Was wisely in your gullet caught
Before my loyalty you sought

[Chorus]
Well, I've been to a minor place
And I can say I like its face
If I am gone and with no trace
I will be in my minor place

[Bridge]
O it's not a desert nor a web
Nor a tomb where I lay dead
Minor in a sound alone
Yes a clear commanding tone

[Verse 4]
Singing from my little point
And aching in my every joint
I thank the world it will anoint me
If I show it how I hold it
