lyrics

I’d walk into my backyard and sit in my hammock.
Summer evening air suppresses my panic.
I can smell the ocean from miles away.
Please, wind, take me away
Oh, please take me away.
Oh, please take me away.

Each day at this time, I seem to fall back
To my younger days which had long since passed.
Standing barefoot on my rough driveway
Staring at the sky wondering what to say.

These years have gone by so fast
I’ve let too many chances pass
I fear I’ll grow old with nothing to show
I should give myself a break sometimes.

So I’ll stand up straight
Look into the mirror
I’ll tell myself
Not today, you have too much to give.
You have a purpose, it soon will surface.

Nothing will take me away.
Nothing can take this away.
Nothing will take me away.
Nothing can take this away from me.
