I took a drive along the west bank of the shore,
I thought of what you said, and then I thought some more,
You say your life is all but chiselled out in stone, and all you want is just a taste of the unknown.

Think it was yesterday I called you on the phone,
You say you need a change; I recognise the tone,
Buy me a ticket please, to anywhere I'll go,
I'm not saying what is right or what is wrong,
I'm just thinking you've been hanging here too long.

So, why don't we just up and leave it all behind,
Maybe a change would ease your mind,
For a time, leave it all behind.

What I really want to do is see you smile,
Hear you talk and let me listen for a while,
There's too much going on to keep it all inside,
You try to whisper, but you start to scream and shout,
What you need is just a place to let it out.

So, why don't we just up and leave it all behind,
Maybe a change would ease your mind for a time,
We will see if there's a place that we can grow,
Someplace that no one else will know how to find,
Leave it all behind.

Try to whisper, but you start to scream and shout,
What you need is just a place to let it out.

So, why don't we just up and leave it all behind,
Maybe a change would ease your mind for a time,
We will see if there's a place that we can grow,
Someplace that no one else will know how to find,
Leave it all behind.
