Langston Hughes
We’ll Go Away Together
[ROSE]
When birds get old enough
They spread their wings and fly
It's natural for a bird
To want to try the sky
[SAM]
When two people are in love
Their souls grow wings and say
The nest is too small now
Come away, love, come away!
Come away!
We'll go away together
Just we two, just you and I
We'll build a home to shelter us
Beneath a happier sky
[ROSE]
We'll go away together
Out of shadows into light
And leave behind our yesterdays
And make tomorrows bright
Home need not be a palace
Or a golden castle in Spain
I'd be content with just a roof
To keep out snow and rain
[ROSE & SAM]
Just so we find a shelter
From cold and wind and weather
[SAM]
I'll warm you in my arms, my love
[ROSE & SAM]
When we go away together
When we go, we two, away!
