Lyrics
8) Breakaway
m.litton
Late night closes round a little prairie town
Lone car on the highway, moon cuts through the clouds
Two young hearts are trying to break free
“Take my hand, girl, come break away with me
“Feeling hunted like two shadows on the run
“Only wantin’ to escape this dead-end that we’re from
“Feel your long hair blow against mine
“Don’t wanna die till I reach the sky…
Chorus: “Where does the road lead beyond the distant hill?
“We reach the horizon we’re standing here still
“Why is there no answer when the question gets real?
“Aw, stab me in the heart, ask me how I feel
“Caught like a tumbleweed in a barb wire fence
“I tremble without moving just touching your skin
“All my life I’ve been longing to break free
“Take my hand, girl, come break away with me
“Break away-ay-ay…
“Red fox in the headlights he trots along the road
“His eyes flash yellow as he jumps the ditch to go
“Deep into the night to vanish in his dream
“He answers no one, he’s always been free
“Let it all pass away, it’s all been said before
“Keep what we’ve got today, don’t need nothing more
“Take you in my arms, draw your breath to mine
“Don’t wanna die till I reach the sky…”
(chorus)
