Runaway

                                  {Words & Music: Hazel O'Connor}



You hate yourself, so you hate everybody else

People can make you feel small

Small is a size when age just won't rise fast enough

So you wait for the day, to be up get away

Run run as fast as you can

Over and Over and Over the hill far away



[CHORUS:]

Runaway

Is there something you're trying to say

Runaway

Please come home one day

Runaway

Is there something you're trying to say

Over and over and over and over again



I remember the day in a grey misty way

When we boarded the boat to the hook

I was sick to the sea that was beckoning me to it's end

In the light of the dawn, feeling ragged and worn

I pointed my thumb to the sky

Over and over and over that road again



[CHORUS]



Now in the light of experience

There's something I want to say

Now in the light of experience

There's nowhere to run to

If from yourself you're really running away



[CHORUS 2x]



Runaway!
