Take me somewhere nice
 To some tired island
 In your heart called
 Paradise

 Though we wander home
 We both feel alone
 Like escapees with nowhere to go

 I can think of a thousand ways
 To get good and lost 
 Beyond these hopeless days

 Where we'll rendezvous
 Out of the blue,
 And take a deep breath,
 Just we two.

 And we'll be so far gone,
 The oars will roll on
 And we will happily
 Wave so long.

 If we hook a dream,
 And it tows us back down
 This open stream
 We'll say hello.
 Oh, oh,
 Take us wherever you go.

 Take me somewhere deep,
 'Cause I'm quite exhausted
 And I need to sleep.

 Or climb the great divide,
 Or wake up beside myself,
 Just to know I'm alive.

 Every wait around
 Pays me a visit and 
 Drags my eyelids down
 They sting like growing pains
 Iced in the veins
 Of a guy who's not ready to die.

 If I may be so bold,
 I'll weather the cold,
 'Cause I'm not afraid
 To grow old.

 If we hook a dream,
 And it tows us back down this open stream,
 We'll say hello,
 Oh, oh,
 Take us wherever you go.
