To The Back of Beyond

Nothing will happen to you;
no harm will come.
Nothing you have to do
That I haven't already done.

Just take my hand
and close your eyes.
Smile, that you might
not cry.

I want to take you
to the ends of the earth;
to the back of beyond.

Where there are no limits,
where laws of gravity
and laws in general
are mere words.

Come with me to where
the grass dances freely
and the flowers smile at you.

We've seen too much decay,
destruction and death
for our hearts to be
troubled anew.

This is the back of beyond,
where we renew,
rejuvenate and restore.

This is a place
I wish we could stay
forevermore.

At least until you
feel the yank
of this weary sphere.

Never fear.
The back of beyond
is always here.
