Run

歌詞

Oh, my child thirty years today You came into my life and everything changed If there's one thing I tried to teach you Girl, don't you waste your time Come this September you'll be somebody's wife I won't paint a picture Of what you want to see Love is the harder times Take it from me I would run down the lane and into the night Run so fast, I swear my feet would fly Run from my babies asleep in their beds Run from my lover and my best friend And back again And all of this courage I've tried so hard to hold on to Ever since that day you and your brother left for school They say just over that hill the fog rolled in And come quick doctor, we think somebody's been killed And I have been a healer Of other people's pain Yeah, I know sometimes you don't like The ways I've changed But the smell of the world came into my lungs The sound of the gravel when my legs went numb And my heart nearly burst right out of my chest It felt so good to know I wasn't dead I would run down the lane and into the night Run so fast, I swear my feet would fly Run from my babies asleep in their beds Run from my lover and my best friend And back again Back again
