On your birthday I was afraid that he'd run away
Leave us with no money to buy candles and cake for you
I was so afraid. I was so afraid
In November, he built a fence in pouring down rain
That night in darkness we ran away in pouring down rain
Oh, oh we were so afraid
We were so afraid
Oh, oh oh oh
We ran far to Boston we went to live next to the trains
We could never fall deep asleep but I still felt safe
When I had your heart beat, fighting bad dreams
Two more years until we can go home
Oh, I was so afraid. I was so afraid
