I want to go away On a perfectly good day I want to climb a hill Watch the world as it stays still Instead of moving frames Oh, paint me a picture To keep in my pocket I want to sail the seas Depart without any warning And leave the world I've known Find a new one to call home Instead of seeing it all Oh, give me a memory To keep in my pocket I've got these many hours And the rest of my days To make a living And all I know is I haven't Mentioned my whereabouts To anybody else Had to take a rain check back at home Granting myself time and space to roam And maybe take a little something back Take a little something back with me I am running through woods On my own, cause I could And I am making it there A place I don't know where And I am sinking a boat While I'm learning to float And I am counting my scars Cause I'm proud of the wars I've won Waiting for my wings to grow Through the summer and the snow I'll be here and taking my time 'Cause it's mine I've got these many hours And the rest of my days To make a living And all I know is I haven't Mentioned my whereabouts To anybody else Had to take a rain check back at home Granting myself time and space to roam And maybe take a little something back Take a little something back with me Before I start again
