We're Away

Finally got some money
For a fare from here to there
Gonna grab my milk and honey
Take our time to anywhere

Pack a bag for El Dorado
Catch a flight through Shangri La
Change a plane in Amarillo
Hop a train to Babylon


No one saw us coming
Raise a glass we're on our way
Life's a risk worth running
Come tomorrow we're away


We can walk the Mayan highland
Dance the night in roman rain
Trek the Easter island
Or a land without a name

The seas will part before us
Time will bend and tear
Only stars to guide us
On our trip to everywhere


No one saw us coming
Raise a glass were on our way
Life's a risk worth running
Come tomorrow we're away


We will wash in mighty rivers
We will race the desert dunes
We'll take what fate delivers
Making love to ancient tunes

Throw away that dusty compass
Light the fires with our maps
 Signs can never stop us
As we slip between the gaps


No one saw us coming
Raise a glass were on our way
Life's a risk worth running
Come tomorrow we're away
