The Letter

He wrote her a letter confessing his sins,
Secrets on paper confided,
He couldn’t imagine the danger within,
Fuel to fire provided.
And she’ll run run away, run run away,
Into the dark,
Run run away, run run away,
Far from her heart,
Run run away, run run away,
Into the dark.
It’s everywhere she goes.
He spoke of redemption of starting anew,
Think of tomorrow my darling,
Past be the past and the future be true,
Think not to dwell on our parting.
And she’ll run run away, run run away,
Into the dark,
Run run away, run run away,
Far from her heart,
Run run away, run run away,
Into the dark.
It’s everywhere she goes,
It’s everywhere she goes.
Can’t stop the soldiers when marching begins,
Can’t stop the heat that artillery brings,
He’ll stand to the side looking out, looking in,
Feeling the beat of the butterfly wings.
And she’ll run run away, run run away,
Into the dark,
Run run away, run run away,
Far from her heart,
Run run away, run run away,
Into the dark.
It’s everywhere she goes,
It’s everywhere she goes,
It’s everywhere she goes.
