Little Amelia

In an empty house in a quiet town
Little Amelia lays her head down
The night is still and she is sleeping sound
But there is something wrong
Mum and Dad are lost and Auntie’s gone away
«Just five minutes», that’s what they always say
A lonely girl cannot do anything but pray
She won’t be next
Run away, run away
Run away while you’re still here
Run away, run away
Run away before you disappear
Late at night there’s voices whispering through her wall
The things they say, they don’t make any sense at all
While the life she should have known continues to fall
Like sand from an hourglass
So summer turns to winter, green grass into frost
The years will spin on by and much more will be lost
Little Amelia, she doesn’t know the cost
Of standing still
Run away, run away
Run away before you disappear
Better pray, you’d better pray
That tomorrow you will still be here
Little Amelia, she doesn’t run
And she will not cry
She’s unafraid
Little Amelia, you are so lucky
That you were born so brave
'Cause one day the sky’s gonna fall on this town
The clock is ticking, we are counting down
To the eleventh hour
She has waited long enough
And when her madman comes to call
She’s gonna run so far
She’s gonna run so far away
Run away, run away
Miss Amy Pond is gonna disappear
Run away, so far away
Goodbye, Leadworth!
She is so out of here
