We had finally gotten away

This time to a place we wanted to go

All of us were there

And the river was at last flowing blue

,

That cool water

And a fire on the little beach

And our music in the faint breeze

,

School had ended

We ended it a day early. Ha!

What could they do to us now?

,

We swung high on the trapeze hanging from the leaning sycamore

And at the peak let the bar and everything else go

In that sunny sky we could not see the stars

But we knew they had aligned for us

And we dove into the cool blue dream to make it real

,

We laughed and said that from now on it will always be this way for us

But we knew in our hearts that it would never be this way again
