Echoed words with a weight of anger travel and fill the thin cold air tonight,

Dad came home again with a stench of the Spirits, he and mom are in a nasty fight,

How I wish I could spread my hands and fly away like my brightly coloured lost kite.

 I just want to be anywhere but here……………………………………………….

I’m still haunted by the unthinkable act I committed many, many years ago,

The strangers’ stare itches my conscience, gives me the creeps that they might know,

Am always on the run, don’t know who I am anymore; my new identity is now Joe Doe,

 I want to escape my fear, I’ll feel safe anywhere but here…………………

Heaven is what I feel when you hold me close with your arms of love,

I rest my head on your chest and your arms are fitted round me like a glove,

To me, love was a mystery, you came and it, you alone could magically solve,

Let’s stay like this forever, don’t want to be anywhere but here…………

Don’t make me remember the reason why we have drifted so much apart,

You abused me with fiery words but you were the one who was the love rat,

So what? I slept with your boss but you had an affair with my friend, that cheap tart!

It’s over, I am moving on to anywhere but here…………………………………….

Why are we here, why do we have to go through this sorrow and pain again?

Why do we stand by the graveside where the body of our loved one has been lain?

Though it’s your fault, I’ve forgiven you, this has got to stop or I’ll just go insane.

Don’t bring me back here, I’ll go with you to anywhere but here………………

The seaside and the countryside are the places I wouldn’t with anyone share,

Its serenity is so perfect; the sweet peace that proves to me God is near,

The breeze blows away my fears and I dream of building feathered castles in the air,
