Take Me Away

I kiss the waves as they wave me away, Somewhere new, We miss the days, Back in May, When everything was blue, But I can’t do this anymore. Take me away, Somewhere younger Where the pavement is yet to meet my feet Take me away Somewhere fresher Where I don’t recognize the people on the street Take me away Take me away Take me away Take me away I’ll take these Autumn leaves And press them deep into the pages of a diary Kiss the memories Because we loved them when they breathed But I can’t do this anymore Take me away, Somewhere younger Where the pavement is yet to meet my feet Take me away Somewhere fresher Where I don’t recognize the people on the street Take me away Take me away Take me away Take me away Capture sunshine like an artist Capture robins like a sadist Pack my bag and board a train Travel through the pouring rain Hold me close and we can go Hold my hand They don’t need to know Dip our toes into the shore I can’t do this anymore Take me away, Somewhere younger Where the pavement is yet to meet my feet Take me away Somewhere fresher Where I don’t recognize the people on the street Take me away Take me away Take me away Take me away
