I wanna walk somewhere where the grass is tall
And the scent of spring and the smell of fall
Collide together in a twist contained
By all my longings, real or feigned.
Will you walk with me? All our fears
Are subject now to the coming years
And have no hold on us today.
Just as we are, let's come away.
If the leaves are dry and the wind is chill
And the clouds are gone, I swear I will
Breathe in the presence and the smell of you
Here where the words of God prove true
And rest is found, and we're unknown,
And the heavy weight of being alone
Has squeezed me shut. I'm really here
And here's the moment to be sincere.
Let's walk somewhere in the winsome light,
Let's wake our senses and walk all night.
Let's feel the freedom of quick retreat
And walk on water and follow his feet.
I see it like this in my vibrant dreams
And feel it woven through all my seams.
So let it be true: with our longings entwined,
I walked here with you; left the whole world behind.

Oh, to get away from the world and its madness, and to spend some time in the presence of God. Oh, to do so with someone close to me.
