Runaway John Lyrics

54-40 Runaway John

Runaway, runaway John
Runaway, runaway John
Evil's coming for you
Runaway, runaway John

And while it eats me
I keep on breathing
And when it leaves me
I still believe

I want to tell her she is kind
(Kindness is only a shelter from under the rain)
I want to tell her of my life
(The time that you borrow is nothing without feeling pain)

I want to tell her she is good
(And when the animals love you they hold you up high)
I want to tell her I'm alright now

Runaway, runaway John
(Runaway, runaway John)
Runaway, runaway John
(Runaway, runaway John)

Runaway, runaway John
(Runaway, runaway John)
Runaway, runaway John
(Runaway)
