Tar Roof Top
Away with you to tall golden grasses to the sound of a creek running over rocks the babble and gaggle of water sounds Away with you to open spaces where you can breathe To big fields that stretch out in every direction Away to those black inner tubes that you sit in and just float down the river not a care...
