Daughter - Run lyrics

rate me

While I powder my nose, he will powder his gums

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, so I think we should run

I think we should run, run, run, run

Run, run, run, run

Run, run, run, run

While I put on my shoes, he will button his coat

And we will step outside, checking that the coast is clear

On both sides, we don't want to be seen, no 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

To run, run, run, run

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, 'til we're old and grey

I don't want to be alone, when these bones decay

Run, run, run, run

Run, run, run, run

Run, run, run, run

Run, run, run, run

Run, run, run, run

Run, run, run, run

While I powder my nose, he will powder his gums

And if I try to get close, he is already gone

I don't know what we're doing, I don't know what we've done

But the fire is coming, so I think we should run
