because we've gone far too long without a song of the day

[fairy_wench]

there are times when i
want to pack up and say goodbye
to the oldest friends i've known
jump in the car with no street map
no long sleeved shirts or shoes to pack
just the sound of you and my guitar

'cause i can't wait til the day
you come running to say
those summer nights are here to stay
and we can run far away
not tell a soul for a day
carry me, oh freedom's delight

'cause i've spent times locked in grooves
trapped in mama's old black shoes
or by my papa, folks and friends
always want to tear away
just to have my own say
and walk the untrod path til the end

and i can't wait til the day
you come running to say
those summer nights are here to stay
and we can run far away
not tell a soul for a day
carry me, oh freedom's delight

as the map tore in two
i swore and vented like a fool
watching miles tick, roadsigns fly
but i was running from myself
there was no one else
who could know that better than i

still i can't wait til the day
you come running to say
those summer nights are here to stay
and we can run far away
not tell a soul for a day
carry me, oh freedom's delight

and as the light changed to red
i wrapped the scarf tight 'round my head
i was cold as the kittery tide
but there was not much more to see
so i turned back quietly
and crossed back to the other side

now i can't wait til the day
you come running to say
those summer nights are here to stay
and we can run far away
not tell a soul for a day
carry me, oh freedom's delight
