From the recording Opal Essence (digital download)
Lyrics
Pavement and brake lights
Sirens and bustle
Talking heads
Vacant beds
The daily scuffle
These days I rise before the sun
And I run
Until it sets
Till I see checks
Next to my “to do list”
Let’s leave it all behind, can’t we
Run away from this flurry
Let’s escape at dawn, take me
Away from it all
Away from it all
We can make our getaway
Ignore the agenda and play
Throw a wrench
It’s time to quench
This aching need for slower days
Let’s leave it all behind, can’t we
Run away from this flurry
Let’s escape at dawn, take me
Away from it all
Away from it all
Steal away with me
Steal away with me
Let’s leave it all behind, can’t we
Run away from this flurry
Let’s escape at dawn, take me
Away from it all
Away from it all
