You Run Away

Woman of sorrow

Woman of pain

Woman of the lonely

Whenever I call your name

You know that I love you

Noone above you

With all that I’ve shown you

Should it be this way?

Won’t you slip inside for a better view

I’m every day in exile without you

Cause you run away

You run away

There’s something about you

How could I doubt you
?
But I dial the number and the lines are dead

First you turn up the volume

Then you turn off the signal

Won’t you turn down these voices pounding in my head

This is something beyond love

Let me show you what I’m worthy of

But you run away

You run away

My eyes were burning

My heart was beating

The gates they opened like the dams of Eden

I laid it all out on love’s sweet table

I gave myself as far as I was able

But there’s no happy ever after here

And I’m drowning now in my own tears

Cause you run away

You run away
