Stop the World for a Day - The Twilights

Cast out like horses grazing

People are sleeping dazing

Dreaming of life but saving

Thinking of children naming

Houses and hotels standing

City with lights demanding

People are moving freely

Breathing and laughing easy

If I could stop the world for a day and find a way to get out

I won’t think twice about people that say I’m running away

To find the life I want to live in, believe in, and stay

I must get away

To find a dream I’ve always wanted for my own

I’m running away

Cellophane paper wrapping

Music and feet all tapping

Standing in bus queues sadly

The rain it is pouring madly

Accusing and judging people

Saying I must be evil

Can’t find the sense in talking

Guess I’ll just keep on walking

If I could stop the world for a day and find a way to get out

I won’t think twice about people that say I’m running away

To find a life I want to live in, believe in, and stay

I must get away

To find a dream I’ve always wanted for my own

I’m running away

Life is so nice

Don’t think twice

Just let me be to climb my tree

I might fall down

There’ll be no frown across my face

Yes it’s too late
