Could You Run Away

Caroline Lavelle

Compositor: Caroline LaVelle

Could you run away with me
Go to places that we've never been
Could you run away with me
And be happy?

I'm as still as a sculptor's dream
Filled up with waiting
As my whole life has been
They drink the darkness like a wine
Seeking prey
I wonder if that blood is mine
Could you run away with me
Go to places that we've never seen
Could you run away with me
And be happy?
Could you run away with me
Be the people that we’ve never been
Could you run away with me
And be happy?

The long night is filled with wires
Strung between the walls
A snare every thought
They chase the hunted through the dark
Ringed about
With lonely terrors of the heart
Could you run away with me
Go to places that we've never been
Could you run away with me
And be happy?
Could you run away with me
Be the people that we’ve never been
Could you run away with me
And be happy?
