Go west with me
In our hearts my love
We will live alone
On the wide prairie
The earth beneath
And the sky above
And no one there
But
you and me
No crowds to talk
No one to stare
And none to steal
Your eyes from mine
No one to mock
Or to compare
To make you feel
They dim your shine
But in our haven
Face to face
Your heart will ask
And mine will answer
In deepest gaze
And dear embrace
We sway to our song
A single dancer
The world will smile
When the west wind blows
The whisperings of
Of our ever-after;
From distant miles
The smell of rose
And the sound of song
And a baby's laughter
And they may come
To try the lock
To enter, share,
Or peer and pry;
We will not hear
Them when they knock,
So far away
As you and I.
Go west with me
In our hearts, my love;
Where the sunset burns
And the wind blows free
The earth beneath
And the sky above
Too small for the love
Of you and me.
We will leave them all behind. They interfere; they do not define us. We may walk among them on the outside, but in our souls, we will be far away--we will build our own future, our house of dreams.
