stares out and takes a sip of her wine
I know there's something on her mind
vague by design
she tells me it's a sign of the times
she wants to leave this place behind
politics are bringing her down
she's tired of all the bars in this town
she said lets run away
lets get away
search until
we like what we find
she said lets go away
lets throw away
everything and make a new life
my partner in crime
I laughed and said you need to unwind
sometimes your world
stops on a dime
tense yet resigned
she tells me that
she's feeling the signs
and things are
different this time
tired of just hanging around
just another face in a crowd
she said lets run away
lets get away
search until
we like what we find
she said lets go away
lets throw away
everything and make a new life
