Leading Him Away


I wanted to know if you recall
One night so long ago
When you promised me the sweetest dream
And told me I could go.
I can’t say you disappointed me.
We lived it for a while.
Yes, you remember those few years
I can see it in your smile.
You played music, I sang and danced,
We spoke of love and peace.
Old age could never touch us there
We had our sweet release.
Didn’t we, my brilliant love?
Oh yes, by god, we did.
It was before we knew how cruel life is
Before the secrets that we hid.
So pure and so innocent,
Those unreal summer days.
I want to take you back tonight
Out of your dying haze.
To hell with what the dawn might bring
Just take my aging hand.
Our hearts have always known the way
Back to our magic land.
