Let's run away from life together
Let me run away from life with you
Let's run away from life together
Leave behind the stormy weather
Let's find out what fantasy can do
Where we'll go to they can't touch us
Life is perfect nothing more to do
Nothing more than we'll be needin'
Life is paradise in Eden
Eatin' grapes and makin' love with you
Rest unchanging, no more fights
We won't ever even disagree
Let's go off into the heavens
In eternal happiness for free
Nothing's wrong, no strings attached
No reason to get crazy, never blue
Nothin' from your noisy neighbor,
Nothin's new, no trial, no labor
Cross the river Jordan, hallelue
Rest unchanging, no more fights
We won't ever even disagree
Let's go off into the heavens
In eternal happiness for free
