Let's run away to Tenerife!

Let's run away to Tenerife!

Let's run away to Tenerife!
we could make it there by morning.

Let's run away to Tenerife!
Where all our dreams come true.
drinking beneath candlelight and the Mediterranean moon.

Let's run away to Tenerife!
Toast the town in Duke Bay,
we could play the Mediterranean,
and drink away the day.

Let's run away to Tenerife!
and watch the tide roll in,
from the mountain tops,
and vendor street shops,
we might find what we've never been.

Let's run away to Tenerife!
and find the time to blend in.
we'll watch the tourists struggle,
as we know each and every spin.
the sun will rise and paint us darker,
only white beneath our skin.

Let's run away to Tenerife!
and watch the pilgrims fit and stir,
they'll be looking for something,
we've already found,
as they march up the beach in their sheets,
the warm nights filled with wine and women,
the warm days filled with pacing the streets.

Let's run away to Tenerife!
because, my love, you're too far away,
and on the beach, soaked in sun,
beside me you could stay.
and though the oceans tides will rise,
and the children would come running in,
I would hold you close, in the island sun,
and swill the last of the gin.
