Run

While I powder my nose, he will powder his guns
And if I try to get close, he is already gone.

I don't know where he's going, I don't know where he's been
But he is restless at night, he has horrible dreams.

So we lay in the dark, cause we've got nothing to say
Just the beating of hearts, like two drums in the grey.

I don't know what we're doing, I don't know what we've done.
But the fire is coming, and I think we should run, run, run, run, run...

I think we should run, run, run, run,
Run, run, run, run (bis)

While I put on my shoes, he will button his coat
And we will step outside, checking out the coast is clear.

On both sides we don't wanna be seen
Oh! this is suicide...

But you can't see the ropes, and I won't tell my mother
It's better she don't know, and he won't tell his folks cause they're already ghosts.

So we'll just keep each other as safe as we can
Until we reach the border, until we make our plan to run, run, run, run.
To run, run, run, run (bis)

Will you stay with me, my love, for another day
Cause I don't want to be alone when I'm in this state.

 Will you stay with me, my love, till we're old and grey.
I don't wanna be alone when these bones decay.

Run, run, run, run...
Oh and run, run, run, run...

Daughter, Run
