Far Away - Anne Buckle, Wildwood

Everybody’s taking sides

And I don’t understand why

It’s too much for this heart

To take any more

Society is caving in

Nobody is listening

And I don’t want to take part

In this civil war

So I get lost in book

On the screened in porch

In the backyard

Listening to the pouring rain

A Tale of Two Cities

Helps me forget it all

And carries me miles away

When I need an escape

From the chaos of these days

I open up the pages and let them

Take me to another place

Far away / When I turn the page

I’m dreaming of anothr time

I’m reading in between th lines

So I let the ink

Sink into my mind

So I get lost in book

On the screened in porch

In the backyard

Listening to the pouring rain

A Tale of Two Cities

Helps me forget it all

And carries me miles away

When I need an escape

From the chaos of these days

I open up the pages and let them

Take me to another place

Far away / When I turn the page

You can call me a coward

Or a pacifist

But I refuse to fight

Because in the end

Only love will win

And all our differences

Of opinions

Will be unpinned

But until then

So I get lost in book

On the screened in porch

In the backyard

Listening to the pouring rain

A Tale of Two Cities

Helps me forget it all

And carries me miles away

When I need an escape

From the chaos of these days

I open up the pages and let them

Take me to another place

Far away / When I turn the page
