| We escaped from the city,
|
| Miles and miles we did flee,
|
| Through the endless forest,
|
| To the edge of the sea.
|
| It was as though the world was ours,
|
| Lying on a deserted beach,
|
| Out of reach, out of their reach.
|
| I could see you much clearer,
|
| As we strode by the shore,
|
| All the peace all around us,
|
| Seemed impossibly pure,
|
| And then the sun shone through the clouds,
|
| Touched us with its magnificent beam,
|
| Made us clean, made us feel so clean.
|
| On our island of safety,
|
| From the alien crowd,
|
| Of the city of madness,
|
| Could we really be sure,
|
| That the peace would still remain.
|
| Sealed away from insanity,
|
| We shall see, we shall see. |
