Take me somewhere nice
To some tired island
In your heart called
Paradise
Though we wander home
We both feel alone
Like escapees with nowhere to go
I can think of a thousand ways
To get good and lost
Beyond these hopeless days
Where we'll rendezvous
Out of the blue,
And take a deep breath,
Just we two.
And we'll be so far gone,
The oars will roll on
And we will happily
Wave so long.
If we hook a dream,
And it tows us back down
This open stream
We'll say hello.
Oh, oh,
Take us wherever you go.
Take me somewhere deep,
'Cause I'm quite exhausted
And I need to sleep.
Or climb the great divide,
Or wake up beside myself,
Just to know I'm alive.
Every wait around
Pays me a visit and
Drags my eyelids down
They sting like growing pains
Iced in the veins
Of a guy who's not ready to die.
If I may be so bold,
I'll weather the cold,
'Cause I'm not afraid
To grow old.
If we hook a dream,
And it tows us back down this open stream,
We'll say hello,
Oh, oh,
Take us wherever you go.
