Lookin' left, steppin' right
Across the sunburned grass
Down a wooden flight
Of stairs worn smooth by a million soles
Searchin' for solitude

Finds a spot down by the water's edge
Under pale-green willows,
Shakes his head
As he wonders if she's wondered where his life has led

Since they were, 
Two hearts entangled, two souls at play
Two kids plannin' for their GETAWAY

Not sure why he's relivin' that dance
It was a long time ago
A cosmic circumstance
A brief sweet moment in a place called “Home”
Small town vision
With saltwater chromosomes

They found each other in a waking dream
Shared their secrets 'neath the evergreens
Promised love forever, like in a movie scene

They were,
Two hearts entangled , two souls at play
Two kids plannin' for their GETAWAY
Two kids plannin' for their GETAWAY

But that's the past, it's gone
Another corner turned 
Another lesson learned 
Another wound that healed
It's the past, it's gone
                                                                                                                                                             
You see,
She flew west over that slate-grey sea
To an island nest
His blue-eyed chickadee
Took her smile, took her harmonies
And after all these years and all the love he's found
Sometimes the breeze brings her ghost around
And carries him back to that yesterday
And
Two kids plannin' for their GETAWAY
Plannin' for their GETAWAY
