Runaway Hearts

If I thought about it for a very short time
I could come up with a reason to believe
That you and I would take that climb
To the heights that I couldn’t conceive

We could step out in the cool autumn night
And glide through the blanket of breezes
I would embrace your soul with all my might
And give you all that I have that pleases

Let’s set sail away upon the seas of life
Head straight into the wind and hang on tight
Cut through the waves like a sharpened knife
And keep on going deep into the night

Or jump aboard my black iron horse
Strap on our bonnets and put on our shades
Fill up the tank and plot a new course
Follow that road until all fear fades

Maybe we board a soaring red jet
That takes us away to places unknown
It will fly us high above all the regret
And enjoy the view that life has shown

So let’s pack a big bag and make the plans
For a trip that will take us the rest of our years
You’ll have all of me and these two hands
To cradle your heart until anguish disappears
