Asshtonpark - James Gang

She runs, runs, runs and tries hard to run

But slowly she moves through the field

Seemingly smiling while inside she’s dying

Chasing a butterfly that she’ll never feel

She runs, runs, runs and tries hard to run

But motion is just in her eye

Two wars, a famine and decades of damning

Left her a body that’s just breathing to die

He runs, runs, runs and tries hard to run

Catching his foot on the curb

Someone’s demanding all his understanding

The sign on his back reading, 'Please Don’t Disturb'

He runs, runs, runs and tries hard to run

There’s only an hour left to go

Who is insisting, there’s no use in quitting

She has a reason but he’ll never know

It runs, runs, runs and tries hard to run

To carry it’s life down to the sea

The water is muddy and the banks are all bloody

What is the reason that it cannot flow free?

They run, run, run and try hard to run

A pressing engagement goes on by

They hope they will never be leaving forever

Why do they always stand, waving goodbye?
