from within

2nd june 2010

Take away the oceans

take away the seas

take away the sunshine

take away the trees

Take away the rosebuds

that bloom in spring

take all the blossoms

all I'm asking is one thing

Please leave my baby

please leave her for me

I don't care for the oceans

I don't care for the seas

I can do without blue skies

or flowering trees

But I can't do without my baby

so please leave her for me

Nature has beauty, nature has its place

but when I look into my baby's face

I lose all sense of judgement, I lose my regard

to think only of nature somehow seems so hard

So take away your oceans

take away your seas

take away your rosebuds

all I'm asking is one thing

Please leave my baby

please leave her for me
