Let Us Leave Now


Let us leave now

Through the garden gate

And run quickly across the grass

I cannot wait

 

Let us leave right now

And row across the river

We'll disappear into the forest

We'll be gone forever

 

Let us leave now

Before the morning light sees us

Before they come and find us

Before they come between us

 

Let us go now

And make a hasty exit

Fast and far down the road

As far away as we want it

 

Let us go now while we can

We will be gone soon

Lost in our own little world

Like daydreams drifting on a lazy afternoon

 

I cannot wait anymore

Let us leave now

While the rain has still fallen

And the dew still fresh on the hydrangeas
