Run Away With Me

There ain't no concrete on the hills Or ugly broken buildings Even broken things look beautiful up here If farms were left behind Then nature has reclaimed them There are swallows In the rafters Of old forgotten barns It's just nature rearranged In shades of green and amber Little coloured boxes Hemmed in by old lumps of stone Over time the walls have weathered And they're covered now in lichen Entangled in this landscape Like nothing came before Oh God I love my country Even though sometimes I curse her When clouds are grey and piling up And heavy on my heart In summer she's bucolic Winter's still and full of promise Spring is an awakening And autumn's like a hug Oh can we stay Forever in this heartland Let's leave the dirty city streets behind If I kissed you now and told you That my love for you is endless Would you leave the urban jungle And run away with me? Rivers run in valleys Depression runs in families And people run in circles In shiny little cars We're running out of time here Let's change our destiny dear Come with me Let's make a brand new start Oh can we stay Forever in this heartland Let's leave the dirty city streets behind If I kissed you now and told you That my love for you is endless Would you leave the urban jungle And run away with me?
