A song written while Van and Alexa tried to make a long distance relationship work. I discovered this on a mix tape that Van had made for Alexa’s 23 birthday….and thus perhaps hadn’t been noticed by Lindsey as she prepared some of his official releases.
This Place (Calls to You)
This place calls to you
With the whistle of the wind and the dove’s coo
Like this place calls to me
The babble of the brooks and the shady trees
Now this place calls to you
The trails in the hills and the city view
Far away from the desert and oppressive heat
It ‘s the place where lost souls come to meet
You’ve been looking so hard for a home
A place you can really call your own
I’ve been looking so long for someone to share
This special place and I know you really care
This place calls to you
In the song of the snight and the morning dew
Like this place calls to me
With the fog and rain and the mystery
Now this place calls to you
The skyline back lit with and azure hue
Far away from the madness of the games you play
It’s the place where you will want to stay
You came here only for a short visit
You never knew just how much you would miss it
Had no intention for a new love to start
You had no idea this place is my heart
This place calls to you…
