Panama

from The Long Way Round by Gronk

lyrics

Shall we leave tonight?
This town is breaking me down and nothing’s right –
It’s like the planet is spinning on its side,
And Lost Time
Scatters her flowers white;

So put the car in gear,
Step on the pedal and let’s get out of here.
We’ll be in Panama by the New Year,
My dear,
Deep in another life ...

And it makes me wonder why you’d want to stay
While the ship goes under, battered by the waves,
With the distant thunder still singing in our ears:
Too many years. Too many years.

It was hot last night.
I turned over and pushed the sheets aside,
Stood at the window until the daylight
Stole by,
Bathing the city sky;

And I watched you wake,
Stretching your body towards the day break,
Decided now is the time we shall escape
Our fate –
You know, you’re wrong when you say it’s too late ...

Where we’re going, you can laugh all you like;
And though the fear is growing,
We’re going to get out tonight.
We’re going to leave it behind ...

‘Cause there’s a world out there.
No time for misery, no time for despair –
We should be walking on down that thoroughfare,
Oh yeah,
You know we could be anywhere;

So get the car in gear,
Step on the pedal and let’s get out of here.
We’ll be in Panama by the New Year.
We could be in Panama by the New Year.
