Away We Go (Smith John)

Just within vision, the road opens wide to swallow me whole At home with the atlas she's desperate to fly And so she asks me every day When are we going away? The drums of the madman, louder each each, have put me to flight Places change shape and friends disappear She calls out to me when I am astray, She says Baby, Take Me Away! Hey! Gather your coats and your shoes! There's nothing to lose! Let us see better days in some sweet place far away At the very least we'll say we gave it a go Spring came on quickly We never returned, we never looked back The candle not lit has longer to burn And still she asks me everyday She says Baby, Take Me Away!
