Jeff Black Run lyrics

this was supposed to be so easy
but the blood seemed to be cursed
we were always just a stones throw away
from everything we ever wanted
daddy's mantra just got caught
in my head children
one of these days

child run to the sea
head first as though your head's on fire
jump in and redefine your time
and hold on hold on
crushing every fear
let your love lead you on
let your love lead you on and run
run child run
well I put on my heavy coat
and I walked out to the road
and I waited such long long time
with no malice in my heart
I wish you well and now

I call upon my beloved
in the dark so devine

child run
to the sea
head first as though your head's on fire
jump in and redefine the line
and hold on hold on
crushing every fear
let your love lead you on
let your love lead you on and run
run child run
you're going to find out just how heavy happiness can be
less you try now to tote it around in a box made out of lead like me
if you never ever hear a single word I say
hear me now
hear me now
