take me some place foreign
a place where i can grow
these skies and i are misaligned
i want to sing
i too can float
set me out to sea
the wind will carry me
lovers become theives
children they believe
dreamers you won't defeat
so i keep looking out the window
i must see past the night
there's someone in the garden
a queen with no stage fright
she's standing at the window
doing just as i do
and would you look at this,
we're wearing the same shoes
