When the half light makes for a clearer view
Sleep a little more if you want to
But restlessness has seized me now, it’s true
I could watch the dreams flicker in your eyes
Lying here asleep on a sunbeam
I wonder if you realize you fascinate me so
Think about a new destination
If you think you need inspiration
Roll out the map and mark it with a pin
I will follow every direction
Just lace up your shoes
While I’m fetching a sleeping bag, a tent . . . .
Another summer’s passing by
All I need is somewhere I feel the grass beneath my feet
A walk on sand, a fire I can warm my hands
My joy will be complete
I thought about a new destination
I’m never short of new inspiration
Roll out the map and mark it with a gin
Made my plans to conquer the country
I’m waiting for you to get out of your situation
With your job and with your life
All I need is somewhere I feel the grass beneath my feet
A walk on sand
A fire, I can warm my hands
My joy will be complete
Sleep a little more if you want to
But restlessness has seized me now, it’s true
I could watch the dreams flicker in your eyes
Lying here asleep on a sunbeam
I wonder if you realize you fascinate me so
Think about a new destination
If you think you need inspiration
Roll out the map and mark it with a pin
I will follow every direction
Just lace up your shoes
While I’m fetching a sleeping bag, a tent . . . .
Another summer’s passing by
All I need is somewhere I feel the grass beneath my feet
A walk on sand, a fire I can warm my hands
My joy will be complete
I thought about a new destination
I’m never short of new inspiration
Roll out the map and mark it with a gin
Made my plans to conquer the country
I’m waiting for you to get out of your situation
With your job and with your life
All I need is somewhere I feel the grass beneath my feet
A walk on sand
A fire, I can warm my hands
My joy will be complete

Someone thinks the same?
i don't know. I just love the feeling of escape in this song. :)
This song has always struck me as being a love song about a couple wanting to be with each other but one of the couple is involved with someone else.
Or maybe im reading to much into it and it really is just about tents and stuff!
"I wonder if you realize you fascinate me so" is one of my favorite lines from any piece of music. Such a unique emotion, fascination, and it says so much about how one person feels about another. Lovely work!
Waking up and seeing the one you love, lying barefoot in the grass with them...
Kind of a lazy relaxation song. It's amazing.
2.) maybe this is more about camping just on the surface, but really it's talking about the idea of sort of "getting out" of one's life for a while? the whole thing has an escapist feel, and it sounds like she (the singer) is waiting for a significant other to get out of his current situation so they can escape together. just my thoughts.
