On the places you'll go
There's a ruin and blackberries
And a secret hidden tomb
And a hill that you can fall down
Muddy giggling and warm
Past the bull and there's a river
You can dive in when it pools
Dragonflies and rippling sunset
Trees to climb and grass to pull
There's a rooftop you can climb on
If you live in the right flat
If you're small enough and sleepless
And you've got a certain knack
For Escaping and eloping
Getting lost and running off
If the moonlight's calling to you
And you're too itchy and hot
There's a tree out on a campus
Swaying gently in the breeze
Which you can climb almost to the top of
If that's where you need to be
If you stay there and you listen
You can gossip with the breeze
The leaves will flutter stories
Until you have to leave
There are walls and courts and gardens
You can travel to at night
If the world outside can't scare you
And you know how best to hide
If escaping feels like breathing
And the quiet feels like home
If you're restless, fearless, dauntless
There's nowhere you can't go.

There's a rooftop you can climb on
If you live in the right flat
If you're small enough and sleepless
And you've got a certain knack
For Escaping and eloping
Getting lost and running off
If the moonlight's calling to you
And you're too itchy and hot
There's a tree out on a campus
Swaying gently in the breeze
Which you can climb almost to the top of
If that's where you need to be
If you stay there and you listen
You can gossip with the trees
The leaves will flutter stories
Until you have to leave
I know you're as afraid of being ignored as you are of being seen
I am sitting in my walking frame at the base of my tree
Talking gently to the smaller self perched precariously
Come down when you're ready I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting patiently
There's a ruin and blackberries
And a secret hidden tomb
And a hill that you can fall down
Muddy giggling and warm
Past the bull and there's a river
You can dive in when it pools
Dragonflies and rippling sunset
Trees to climb and grass to pull
There are walls and courts and gardens
You can travel to at night
If the world outside can't scare you
And you know how best to hide
If escaping feels like breathing
And the quiet feels like home
If you're restless, fearless, dauntless
There's nowhere you can't go.
I know you're as afraid of being ignored as you are of being seen
I am sitting in my walking frame at the base of my tree
Talking gently to the smaller self perched precariously
Come down when you're ready I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting patiently
