Wish to run away with me,

To where nothing matters at all.

At the end of the world will we find,

A bit of peace and serenity.

I long for dusty roads,

And sun baked wood.

I want to feel a dry heat upon my skin,

And rest beneath the cool hissing shade of a poplar tree.

Kiss me with sage and cinnamon upon your lips,

As we bath our feet in a quick running spring.

Watch as jackrabbits dance between brush,

While cattle low and horses peace.

Run away with me into a wide open sunset,

Beneath a dark ceiling of stars.

Run away with this wish,

To find out what matters.
