Dear, my love, haven’t you wan-ted to be with me, and

Dear, my love, haven’t you longed to be free?

I can’t keep pretending that I don’t even know you, and

At sweet night, you are my own

Take my hand, we’re leaving here tonight

 There’s no need to tell anyone

 They’d only hold us down

 So by the morning’s light we’ll be halfway to anywhere

 Where love is more than just your name

I have dreamt of a place for you and I

No one knows who we are there

All I want is to give my life away to you

I’ve dreamt so long, I cannot dream anymore

Let’s run away, I’ll take you the-

 We’re leaving here tonight (-ere)

 There’s no need to tell anyone

 They’d only hold us down

 So by the morning’s light we’ll be halfway to anywhere

 Where no one needs a reason

Forget this life, come with me, don’t look back, you’re safe now

Unlock your heart, drop your guard, no one’s left to stop you

Forget this life, come with me, don’t look back, you’re safe now

Unlock your heart, drop your guard, no one’s left to stop you now

 We’re leaving here tonight

 There’s no need to tell anyone

 They’d only hold us down

So by the morning’s light we’ll be halfway to anywhere

 Where love is more than just your naaaaaaame
