TAKE ME AWAY
2
Take me away
To a deserted beach
By a bay
Where problems can’t reach
And I don’t fear the rise of the day.
Take me away
I’m to tired to fight
There’s no more to say
I don’t want to fear the night
Take me away
Hold me in your arms
Keep the world at bay
Soothing me with your charms
Take me away
Where no more lies can reach me
Where dreams don’t decay
And joy is all I see
Take me away
To a beach by the bay
Where alcohol does not exist
Where the pain it reaps does not twist
My heart into tiny broken knots
Hope — Never to regain
Take me away; Give me peace
Take me away; give me silence
Take me away; where I never have to see self-destruction
Take me away; so I can breathe again
I fell in love with tomorrow
I fell in love with tomorrow
It’s sweet promise of renewal
To forget the horror of yesterday
To seek forgiveness in the light of day
I fell in love with tomorrow
It’s hope just beyond my outstretched arm
I closed my eyes and begin to pray
To wash away the nightmare
To leave behind yesterday
