Someday I'll Take You Far Away (for Tatiana)

Someday I’ll take you far away
To a distant state or state of mind
Where neither thoughts nor words unkind
Can assail the spirit, or unwind
That peace that we so rarely find
Someday I’ll take you far away.

Someday I’ll take you far away
Where you’ll never feel the need to weep
For promises I did not keep
As we watch the sun towards shadows creep
You’ll lay your head in my lap and sleep
Someday I’ll take you far away.

Someday I’ll take you far away
Where you’ll never have to fret again
On what might have and what has been
Where the sordid, sick affairs of men
Don’t merit a word of tongue or pen
So remember this much, until then:
Someday I’ll take you far away.
