We escaped from the city
Miles and miles we did flee
Through the endless forest
To the edge of the sea
It was as though the world was ours
Lying on a deserted beach
Out of reach, out of their reach

I could see you much clearer
As we strode by the shore
All the peace all around us
Seemed impossibly pure
And then the sun shone through the clouds
Touched us with its magnificent beam
Made us clean, made us feel so clean

On our island of safety
From the alien crowd
Of the city of madness
Could we really be sure
That the peace would still remain
Sealed away from insanity
We shall see, we shall see
