Fly you fool,
run for your life
There are not enough hours
of darkness tonight
To cover your tracks
Put the wind at your back
And run
You gave up your shoes
Surrendered your hat
Threw up a white flag
And then took it back
There’s nowhere to go now
But into the fray
Unless you run
Love is a dangerous battle
The best of times
But you can’t prove your worth
Or your metal
The rest of times
Sure you’ll be caught in the heat of the sun
The muzzles of cannons
The crosshairs of guns
Unless you run
Go on ahead
No need to wait
There are dogs at the doorway
And men at the gate
If you make it outside
You can send someone back
To collect all the things you’ll need to have
Love is an underground railway
It moves unseen
But it can leave a trail you can follow
If you know what it means
Sure you’ll be scared
By the noise and the fight
The dark and the cold
But you’ll be alright
If you run
....to me
....to me
Run
