The First Time I Ran Away
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The first time I ran away I saw
Faces in the trees, I heard
Voices in the storm
They say
Uh, uh
(By the waterfall)
Uh, uh
The second time I ran away I saw
Warriors on the train catching
Tigers by the tail
They say
Uh, uh
Uh, uh
Cause when they look at you as if you were a stranger
The way they talk to you as if you were a child
(By the waterfall)
Last time I ran away, well I hope it is with you
Let me show you where to run
Uh, uh
Uh, uh
