So I made my great escape
I am safe in blood and bone
I want to go away
I wanna go alone
To a quiet place where time and I slow down
To a cottage in a golden castle town
So now every day for lunch
I pick tomatoes off the vine
Pour some very cold white wine
And pick some sweet figs off the tree
I rest in golden calm
Wander round the garden
When the sun begins to set
I take the stairs down to the sea
If you were here you would see a man
In nothing but a golden tan
Go clamber up the rocks alone
Above the perfect blue
And then you'd see him dive
The twenty-five feet down
To the water by the golden castle town
After seven weeks of this
This perfect golden bliss
Where I unstress and I unbald and I unfatten
I start to feel a little more like Ben
I start writing songs again
That's when I know that I can go home to Manhattan
Out of the water
Up the stairs back to the cottage
Pack my suitcase and I'm off
It's been good this disappearance for a while
But I smile when the airplane touches down
And I get home to New York City
Home to my golden castle town
