ABSCOND

I don't want to elope with you,
I want to abscond with you.
I want to runaway
and to steal the world,   for ourselves.
I want to keep the trees
for you and me.
I want to hold the world
in our hands.

I want to have the sea,
licking the shore beneath our noses,
And when the world comes looking for us,
I want them to only find
where we were.


2nd version (first was original)


I don't want to elope with you,
I want to abscond with you.
I want to runaway
and to steal the world, for ourselves.
I want to keep the leafy trees
for you and me.
I want to hold the world
in our hands.

I want to have the limey sea,
licking the shore beneath our noses,
And when the world comes looking for us,
I don't want them to find us.
I want them to only find
where we were.
