From the recording Stories of Strangers
Lyrics
Run away
Run away into the night
Broken chains
On my way to the border
Home and free
Home and free if I cross that line
Hanging tree
Waits for me if I stumble
The sheriff rides and I’m on the run
In shadows hide and fear the rising sun
Body aches
Disobeys my weary mind
No escape
The new day is dawning
Shelter me
Shelter me and shield my eyes
Rowan tree
Underneath he is passing
The sheriff rides and I’m on the run
In shadows hide and fear the rising sun
Cover me, cover me
Cover me, cover me
Cover me, cover me
Cover me, cover me
Cover me
Cover me and close my eyes
Rowan tree
Underneath I am hanging
The sheriff rides and I’m on the run
In shadows hide and fear the rising sun
