I Need To Get Away

I need to get away- but how?

Over the hills and through the snow, 

Sinking to knees, I sing as I go,

Small to the naked trees that grow

And down to the frozen river, I know;

I'm away, away from it all, for now.

I need to get away- but where?

A log cabin stands, strong and alight

A lone cabin stands in the darkness of night

Against the strong wind, it stands to fight,

The piled up logs so woven in tight;

I'm away, away from the stress and the care.

I need to get away- but why?

I dream of white paradise, without a care,

Of soft clouds and snowflakes adrift through the air,

Of quivering wind blowing sharply through hair,

A place I am happy, a wintry lair;

I'm away, away under infinite sky.
