about

This song was inspired by the painting "Faraway" by Andrew Wyeth. The boy is Wyeth's young son Jamie, who also became an artist. It got me thinking about the private lost world of childhood we still carry around with us. Wouldn't it be nice if we could step back into it at will -- with someone we love?

lyrics

We must go faraway
Where the wind will let us play
Find ourselves a place with no name
Try to forget the path where we came
It's okay to be young in yesterday
Where we play our games
And no one will ever find us again

Come away with me
There's a place to be children once again
Bring your fantasy
Let it set us free from the world of men
Faraway, faraway

We can play Jack and Jill
If we can remember still
Or hide and seek, we'll run 'til we're free
Leaping alive, no one can catch me
Let's go out on a limb and climb some trees
Even skin our knees
Will you go faraway with me please?

Come away with me
There's a place to be children once again
Bring your fantasy
Let it set us free from the world of men
Faraway, faraway

It's okay to be young in yesterday
Where we play our games
And no one will ever find us again

Come away with me
There's a place to be children once again
Bring your fantasy
Let it set us free from the world of men
Faraway, faraway, faraway
