Lyrics
I Shall Run And Run
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.
I've been cursed, I've been despised
As a witch with darkest powers
- I sall goe until a hare -
I've been hunted, trapped and punished
In these my darkest hours
- Wi sorrow and such mickle care -
I've been thrown into the fire
But I do not fear it
- I sall goe until a hare -
It purifies and resurrects
And I can bear it
- Wi sorrow and such mickle care -
I sall goe until a hare
wi sorrow and such mickle care
I have outrun dogs and foxes
And I've dodged the tractor wheels
- I sall goe until a hare -
I've survived your persecution
And your ever changing field
- Wi sorrow and such mickle care -
I will run and run forever
Where the wild fields are mine
- I sall goe until a hare -
I'm a symbol of endurance
Running through the mists of time
- Wi sorrow and such mickle care -
