Let The Rest Of The World Go By
Escape to Peace: Discovering Life's True Joys with Rose Marie
Lyrics
Is the struggle and strife we find in this life
Questioning the value of the struggles and challenges in life
Really worth while, after all
Reflecting on whether the challenges are truly worthwhile
I've been wishing today I could just run away
Expressing a desire to escape and run away from current circumstances
Out where the west winds call
Desiring to go to a place where the west winds beckon
With someone like you, a pal good and true
Expressing a wish to share this journey with a loyal and genuine friend
I'd like to leave it all behind and go and find
Desiring to leave everything behind and explore an unknown place
Some place that's known to god alone
Referencing a place known only to God, suggesting a secluded and serene location
Just a spot to call our own
Desiring a spot to call their own
We'll find perfect peace, where joys never cease
Anticipating finding perfect peace and eternal joy in this tranquil place
Out there beneath a kindly sky
Imagining a peaceful existence beneath a benevolent sky
We'll build a sweet little nest somewhere in the west
Planning to build a small, harmonious home in the western region
And let the rest of the world go by
Deciding to let go of the concerns of the outside world
Is the future to hold just struggles for gold
Questioning if the future holds only struggles for material wealth
While the real world waits outside
Contrasting the pursuit of wealth with the real world outside
Away out on the breast of the wonderful west
Referring to the vast and wonderful west as a potential escape
Across the great divide
Highlighting the significant separation from the current circumstances
With someone like you, a pal good and true
Expressing the desire for a loyal friend to share this journey
I'd like to leave it all behind and go and find
Reiterating the wish to leave everything behind and explore the unknown
Some place that's known to god alone
Again referencing a place known only to God, emphasizing its mystery
Just a spot to call our own
Reiterating the desire for a personal and exclusive spot
We'll find perfect peace, where joys never cease
Anticipating finding eternal joy and peace in this secluded place
Out there beneath a kindly sky
Imagining a peaceful existence beneath a benevolent sky, echoing line 11
We'll build a sweet little nest somewhere in the west
Repeating the plan to build a small, harmonious home in the west
And let the rest of the world go by
Affirming the decision to let go of the concerns of the outside world, echoing line 13
