Can We? Shall We? 2010

'Can we?

Shall we?

One day, very soon

let us go away,

together just you and me.

Can we?

Shall we?

Call in sick and

travel to the sea and hold hands all day.

Can we?

Shall we?

eat our sandwiches on the train,

get drunk on fresh air

and come home tired

and never tell anyone....

ever.'
