Run - Daughter

While I powder my nose

He will powder his gums

And if I try to get close

He is already gone

Don’t know where he’s going

Don’t know where he’s been

But he is restless at night

'Cause he has horrible dreams

So we lay in the dark

We got nothing to say

Just the beating of hearts

Like two drums in the gray

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

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

Cause we don’t want to be seen now

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

And 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

'Till we’re old and gray?

'Cause 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

Run
