Old Places, New Beginnings

I've had it with this old grey town.
I've had it everyday.
I've had it with the cold and damp.
I've gotta get away.
I know I need a break.
I wanna get away with you.
Come and we’ll go at day break.

I need to see a sunny day.
I need to see the trees.
Don’t wanna grow old and die,
Without breaking free.
And you say that you love me.
And I say that I love you.
Let’s run at our future boy,
And start our lives anew.
