Verse:
Run away to the seashore it doesn't matter anymore
Doesn't matter anymore
Words dry up and fly away with the passing of the days
Eventually you just let the stone fall
Chorus:
I dreamed that I saw you you were down at the corner store
You were looking through magazines and you flew out the door
I was trying to wave to you but you wouldn't wave back
Now you know I understand you're with me only in the past
Only in the past
Verse:
My palms are not open they're closed they're closed
My palms are not open they're closed they're closed
(Chorus)
Colours streak the sky we laugh and we cry
And we dance in the cool grass with the fireflies
And we dance in the cool grass sunset birds
Sweet sweet music swallows our words
You set sail and you left this town
Run away, run away, you're so far from me now
So far from me now
(Chorus)
