Take Me To the Movies
I want to get lost in the silver screen,
disappear from real life for a time.
I want to go wandering in stories and dreams,
to follow a fantasy's chime.
Show me an epic with battles and blood
and add in a romance's magical gleam.
Lift me with images out of the mud
of these tick-tocking days all so mean.
Turn on that beam, light the tale to the end.
As I sit in the dark with my heart yours to turn
all the world disappears but the scenes that descend
and land in my gut where they simmer and burn.
I'll willingly go, you can have of my life
a full two hours or three for what's on.
As long as the drama has plenty of strife's
happy endings, I'm yours until dawn.
