away away away
take me back to the sand bank sun
where the grass snakes sleep all day
under the railway where the express train
speeds to london every day every day
into the tunnel arched in brick beneath
you know the the darkened way
where we climbed and nested sparrows
as they feathered in panic away
do take me back past the pluck lake
where we fished for the fishes fey
bobbing eyes on bobbing floats
that maybe maybe may
take the bait jet fast the line did swirl
away and down away and down away
to be reeled in riggling like the girl
in a day dream dreaming day
awake my lad awake and away
for the kingfisher is blue lightening
and you have overstayed your stay
away my lad away wayward home
where dinner awaits on your favourite tray
the one with the sun and moon setting both
up up on the bedroom stairway
take the day and dream it away
away away and away
