[Chorus]
Steal away lets steal away no reason left to stay
For me and you lets start a new and darling steal away
[1]
Lets steal away and chase our dreams and hope they never find us
The dreamy days the empty nights we'll leave them all behind us
[2]
We'll leave behind the city streets the gloom and desolation
The rain the cold just growing old God knows its a hard ould station
[3]
We'll leave behind our memories and make a new beginning
We have to choose to win or loose and it's time we started winning.
Steal away lets steal away no reason left to stay
For me and you lets start a new and darling steal away
[1]
Lets steal away and chase our dreams and hope they never find us
The dreamy days the empty nights we'll leave them all behind us
[2]
We'll leave behind the city streets the gloom and desolation
The rain the cold just growing old God knows its a hard ould station
[3]
We'll leave behind our memories and make a new beginning
We have to choose to win or loose and it's time we started winning.
