Take me somewhere nice

To some tired island

In your heart called

Paradise



Though we wander home

We both feel alone

Like escapees with nowhere to go



I can think of a thousand ways

To get good and lost 

Beyond these hopeless days



Where we'll rendezvous

Out of the blue,

And take a deep breath,

Just we two.



And we'll be so far gone,

The oars will roll on

And we will happily

Wave so long.



If we hook a dream,

And it tows us back down

This open stream

We'll say hello.

Oh, oh,

Take us wherever you go.



Take me somewhere deep,

'Cause I'm quite exhausted

And I need to sleep.



Or climb the great divide,

Or wake up beside myself,

Just to know I'm alive.



Every wait around

Pays me a visit and 

Drags my eyelids down

They sting like growing pains

Iced in the veins

Of a guy who's not ready to die.



If I may be so bold,

I'll weather the cold,

'Cause I'm not afraid

To grow old.



If we hook a dream,

And it tows us back down this open stream,

We'll say hello,

Oh, oh,

Take us wherever you go.
