• How do you like to go up in a swing,
  Up in the air so blue?
  Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
  Ever a child can do!
  Up in the air and over the wall,
  Till I can see so wide,
  River and trees and cattle and all
  Over the countryside.
  Till I look down on the garden green,
  Down on the roof so brown-
  Up in the air I go flying again,
  Up in the air and down!

  Robert Louis Stevenson

• Come away with in the night
  Come away with me
  And I will sing you a song
  Come away with me on a bus
  Come away where they can't tempt us
  With there lies
  I want to walk with you
  On a cloudy day
  In fields where the yellow grass grows
  Knee-high
  So won't you try to come
  Come away with me and we'll kiss
  On a mountain top
  Come away with me
  And I'll never stop loving you
  And I want to wake up with the rain
  Falling on a tin roof
  While I'm safe there in your arms
  So all I ask is for you
  To come away with me in the night
  Come away with me.
