(One, two...)
(One, two, three, four...)
It's been but four winters gone since I
Left you with a well-earnt slap
Upon my face --
Left a note in folded paper
On the fireplace,
Tryin' to reason with the author of
My blues.
And while I was away, I shut down
Every emotion at
My disposal,
Blew my nose to spite the cold,
And brushed off tho-ose who
Tried their level best to lift
My mood.
Run away, get away,
Don't burn your fingers on me.
Get away, run away,
Don't burn your fingers --
Just don't learn...
You ask me, "Why, oh, why did you
Have to go when things were just
Gettin' good?"
We'd started doin' all the things
We always said we would,
Somewhere right between the don't's and
The do's.
And why did it take so long to (And why did it take so long)
Work out what it takes to make your
Brown eyes blue? (Brown eyes blue?)
And how to make you laugh
When you don't want to?
I know that I could still unblow
Your fuse.
Run away,
(Get away!)
get away,
(Get away!)
Don't burn your fingers on me.
Get away,
(Get away!)
run away,
(Get away!)
Don't burn your fingers on me.
Get away,
(Get away!)
run away,
(Get away!)
Don't burn your fingers on me.
And, oh,
We've got so far to
Go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o- (Go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-)
o-o-o-o. (o-o-o-o.)
I believe, in the future, that my
Sister's child will wear a smile
On his face,
And that the pictures of our family
On the fireplace
Will complement the ornaments
We choose.
Take a train with empty pockets,
Fill an empty stomach waiting on a
Platform.
It gets you thinkin' 'bout what's waiting
For you at home,
Makes you sorry for the sorrow you
Produced.
Oh, let's go!
(All right!)
Get away,
(Get away!)
run away,
(Get away!)
Don't burn your fingers on me.
Get away,
(Get away!)
run away,
(Get away!)
Don't burn your fingers on me.
Get away,
(Get away!)
run away,
(Get away!)
Don't burn your fingers on me.
Get away,
(Get away!)
get away,
(Get away!)
Get away,
(Get away!)
get away,
(Yeah...)
Get away!
(Get away!)
Get away!
(Get away!)
Don't burn your fingers on me!
Get away!
(Get away!)
Get away!
(Get away!)
Don't burn your fingers on me!
Get away!
(Get away!)
Get away!
(Get away!)
Don't burn your little fingers!
Get away!
(Get away!)
Get away!
(Get away!)
Get away!
(Get away!)
Well, all
(Get away...)
right!
