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
