Away From It All

When I need to get away

I go somewhere divine.

I climb up to a mountain top

And there, I spend some time.

Above my head a blazing sun

Shines in an azure sky,

I sit upon an airy ridge

And watch the world from high.

Oh, the solitude is bliss

I need no company.

My idyll, on a mountain top

Is paradise, to me.
