Say you know you've got to run
|
You know you've got to hide
|
You don't know who to follow
|
Or who is on your side
|
You don't know where you're goin'
|
You won't talk of where you've been
|
And I may see you tomorrow
|
Or nevermore again.
|
And I've seen you in the cities
|
I've seen you on the road
|
And your face is all a-twisted
|
'cause your brain is a heavy load
|
And then you turn and ask me
|
Say how will I ever know
|
And you talk of all your searchin'
|
But I think it's all for show
|
|
Open up my friend
|
Love someone if you can
|
Go on, let her in
|
Open up again.
|
|
And I hear your mournful songs
|
I hear your painful crys
|
And I've seen the light of hunger
|
Linger deep within your eyes
|
And you talk about your sinkin'
|
And what a hole you're in
|
You expect for me to love you
|
When you hate yourself my friend.
|
|
And you've got yourself a potion
|
Oh to keep you from your sleep
|
In that dark and lonely hour
|
Well I've heard you laugh and weep
|
But you'll always be a-runnin'
|
Runnin' till you find your doom
|
'Cause you never face your lonely soul
|
You never face the gloom.
|
|
Open up my friend
|
Love someone if you can
|
Go on, let her in
|
Open up again.
