about

I love travelling, and I love discovering and learning about other cultures. I wrote this song quite a while ago about my frustration at British insularity. Now, since Brexit, I feel this even more.

lyrics

AWAY FROM HERE words and music © by Rosemary Schonfeld

Boat across the water
Train along the rails
Take me to another land
Away from here

Distant new horizon
What secrets do you reveal
Will the stars explode the night
In fabulous delight
Or hide inside the cafes and the bars?

Chorus: Dusty tracks and concrete roads
Wind along my dream
I hunger for adventure
And other ways to see
People here don’t see they’re living
Locked inside their narrow worlds
They won’t let go their life rafts
And go diving for pearls

I want to go to the airport
Or get a third class ticket train
I want to breath new air even if I choke
I want to rearrange my brain
I want a change of scene, a change of sound
To hear laughter and tears not quiet
But right out loud

Immigration passport control
Fortunate am I that I walk through
It’s a cold winter’s day
And my clothes are frayed
But I can’t wait to walk around this town

Chorus
