Into My Own

Keep me away far from this harsh city life, 
Away from non-stop noise and all the strife;
Lights from dazzling neons make me dizzy,
Enough of this rat race, I’m sick of this reality!

Into my own I retreat, into myself I will escape,               
Doldrums and urban worries I cannot keep;        
Onto the farm amongst the sky and the trees   
So in silent prayer I'll drop down on my knees.    

Come with me, my beloved, let me take you 
Out of the blaring sounds of pulsating disco;  
Pastoral life awaits us there in the country,  
Ethereal beauty is all that we will ever see.
