Runaway John Lyrics

Run away run away John

 Run away run away John

 Evil's coming for you

 Run away run away 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

 

 Run away run away John
