Langston Hughes
We’ll Go Away
[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 house to shelter us
Beneath a happier sky

[ROSE]
We'll go away together
Out of shadows into light
We'll leave behind our yesterdays
And make tomorrow bright

[SAM]
Life is a sky-tall mountain
Wherе clouds play hide and seek
But love will blaze a trail for us
Up to thе highest peak
Maybe we'll find a rainbow
Maybe there's stormy weather
But you'll be in my arms, my love
[ROSE & SAM]
When we go away together

[SAM]
When we go away together

[ROSE]
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

[ROSE, SAM]
When we go, we two, away! (When we go, my love, away!)
