Flee With Me





Gingerly you start your song,
with dreams of crescendos
in strange colors for the dawn

A pulse and blast sent us back
Left us stranded without
the knowledge that we had

Flee with me, Flee with me and Leave this City

It was just you and I, underground
the buildings collapsed and crumbled
with a terrifying sound

We crawled through the rubble
when the heat died down
with what food & water & clothing could be found

Flee with me, Flee with me and Leave this City

You know it's true what I said,
there's no-one I'd rather be with
on a certain road to death

I'll carry you or you carry me
through the storm
Over these cold lightless months
we'll huddle and stay warm

Flee with me, Flee with me and Leave this City

Ashen faces pass us in the dark,
come join us my brother
no difference sets us apart
If we can last until the sun comes back
we'll plant our fields and sing under stars
