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.
