Let us run away <br />To a modern equivalent <br />Of that dream I had as a child, <br />When you were wearing that barley hair <br />And running down Firefly Creek. <br />Where the sun was but a fiery blotch, <br />A kiss blown by you <br />On God's cheek. <br /> <br />Let us run away <br />Along the nightroad <br />Alit with dancing candlelight, <br />Which shows the future <br />In obsidian prism shine <br />Where the moon was but a giant teardrop <br />From every youthful woe <br />Of wishing you were mine. <br /> <br />Let us be lovers <br />And run past the confederate flags <br />That wave along the wind machines, <br />And let me be lost with you. <br />Where you and I were just little kids, <br />Unafraid of the future <br />And dying without a clue.<br /><br />K.
