Six hours north, of our city Walls of plasterboard, a roof of modesty A steady a**embly interwoven With childhood memories of rapture unspoken We'll steal away, we'll steal away Find calm amongst the gentle crystal waves We'll steal away, we'll steal away Find solace in the longest of summer days We'll see the stars, grandeur unhindered A fire on the beach, serenaded by the cinders
And as we pace back, through the silent dunes Along a moonlit track, beneath a cinema of sacred hues We'll steal away, we'll steal away Find calm amongst the gentle crystal waves We'll steal away, we'll steal away Find solace in the longest of summer days And I've been yearning for a quiet place And I've been yearning for you
