about
I got married in August of 2007 to an Englishman who whisked me (much to my great delight) from Canada to the UK, and this is a song celebrating our going off together. Living life with him keeps my head in the clouds in all the right ways.
lyrics
Open the window and breathe in - I can’t believe we’re finally leaving
It’s just the way I always dreamed it
I’ve got you, you got me, we promised - there’s nothing left but to get on this
If the car breaks down we’ll pawn it
Finally free to love and leave this land
I know they see it in some ways as just another routine runaway
From the girl who couldn’t stand to stay in one place
But running ‘away from’ and ‘into’ are two completely different ways to get through
You pull me like the right was always meant to
We could drive a million miles tonight
I could not be further gone than here in your sweet eyes as we’re kissing at the stoplight
And I’ve left this town more times than I can think of
But I never cared less where I was headed to than on my way out with you love
Oh and everyday your love takes me far away, and I’m OK that you’re my
routine run run runaway
The first time I met you I left you make believing things we could get up to
The places we’d go doing what we loved to
A year gone and married a day in and we’re leaving everything for England
Like I never came awake from dreaming
You say I’m brave to come away but understand
I will be at home whenever I have you in my hand - you keep me safe like nothing else can
It’s just the way I always dreamed it
I’ve got you, you got me, we promised - there’s nothing left but to get on this
If the car breaks down we’ll pawn it
Finally free to love and leave this land
I know they see it in some ways as just another routine runaway
From the girl who couldn’t stand to stay in one place
But running ‘away from’ and ‘into’ are two completely different ways to get through
You pull me like the right was always meant to
We could drive a million miles tonight
I could not be further gone than here in your sweet eyes as we’re kissing at the stoplight
And I’ve left this town more times than I can think of
But I never cared less where I was headed to than on my way out with you love
Oh and everyday your love takes me far away, and I’m OK that you’re my
routine run run runaway
The first time I met you I left you make believing things we could get up to
The places we’d go doing what we loved to
A year gone and married a day in and we’re leaving everything for England
Like I never came awake from dreaming
You say I’m brave to come away but understand
I will be at home whenever I have you in my hand - you keep me safe like nothing else can

"Quite apart from that this album is extraordinary on its
own merits there are few artists willing to expose their talents to such a sparse instrumental background, and you need to listen to it and discover its beauty for yourself."
