You always run away
Slip away
Before the dawn of day
A spiritual voyager
A vengeful daughter
You knew how to play
Where you lay your head
I would make a nest
To rest
I can't tell you to stay
Can't tell you to lay
Next to me
You are on the run
You are on the run
You are on the run
You are on the run
You are on the run
You are on the run
Cape town is far
And I can't run
The way that you do
Surrounded by the ocean
I can't go no further
Now bring me the wine
For I need some time
On my own
Surrounded by the fire
All alone
You always run away
Slip away
Before the dawn of day
A resourceful lover
A great pretender
An assassin of hope
