Take Me Away

Kryptik Rogue 1984

Free verse
Watching once more as the world passes me by
Surrounded but still all alone
Am I living a lie

Empty faces, empty eyes
Are staring right through me
No regrets but I still ask why

Take me away, to a peace I've never known

This is the price I've paid
And it's taken its toll
Can it be too much to ask
For the time it stole

Take me away, to a peace I've never known
Take me away, where my life can be my own

I only wish that I had stayed
I only wish that I had known

Take me away, to a peace I've never known
Take me away, where my life can be my own
Where my life can be my own
Take me away, take me away
