Here's how I think I hear it; I have marked a couple of doubtful places: SOME OTHER PLACE, SOME OTHER TIME As recorded by Rosalie Sorrels on "If I Could Be the Rain" (1967) 1. Why do you stand so far away So cool, unfriendly(?), like you were some distant kin? Why don't you open up the door just once, Just once and let me in? And I can tell you secrets that have always been Only mine. Not this time baby? Well then maybe Some other place, some other time. 2. I'd like just once to look into The darkest corners in the shadows of your eyes. I wish I could go with you On the cloud trails where a soul(?) flies. Come eat my pleasant fruits and drink with me One glass of wine. Not this time baby? Well then maybe Some other place, some other time. Mm, I can show you all the colors on a white bird wheeling through a double rainbow, And the colors in the ring around the moon, And sing you songs you never heard before, But time is getting short; we'll have to make it soon. [Repeat verse 1] - - - Verse 1, line 2: I'm not sure "cool, unfriendly" is correct; it might be "cool and friendly." Verse 2, line 4: I have inserted "a soul" so it would make sense, but it sounds more like "a thole," which makes no sense to me.
