Verse 1: All I need is a long vacation from my day to day. I
don’t want to physically move, but I still want to get away. I don’t need a
singular, particular thing that I don’t own. I just want some solitude and to be
left alone.
Verse 2: I don’t need a cottage on a lake no
one’s heard of before. I don’t need keys to unlock a million dollar door. All I
need’s a temporary, momentary second to exhale and another just in case I forget
to inhale.
Chorus: And this old world’s moving fast.
Much too fast for me. And these old bones of mine are weighed down by history
and even reason and rhyme are running out of time.
Verse 3:
I don’t mean to sound antisocial; I don’t want to sound that way. I just want to
experience the full measure of the day. I am just a solitary, tributary drawn to
the river’s flow, but when I reach the end where does the river go.
Chorus:
Bridge: And still the river
won’t cease to be, with or without me.
Chorus:
Verse 4: Instrumental and fade.
