Anita Lipnicka & John Porter - Runner Run lyrics

Rain won't wash this dirt away It will last, it will stay Like some cheap tattoo Made in the wild days Inadequate and unwanted now Time will never fix it up It will burn, day and night Like a question thrown Into the silence Unanswered still, just left to die Runner, runner, you may run To the edge of the world When you're there, don't be surprised That you haven't moved at all At all... So you start anew again, You lock the door, catch a train Now you're digging up Another grave for Your shattered dreams and worn out lies You pick a girl and marry her You love her smile, you need her veil Just to cover up In it's snow pure whiteness The blackened secrets of your heart Runner, runner, you may run To the edge of the world When you're there, don't be surprised That you haven't moved at all At all... In the thickest hour of the night You see yourself from high above A single tear Could save your life Soon the day breaks in, but your eyes stay dry...
