The Runaway

The Runaway - Gentle Giant

Lyrics by：Ray Shulman/Derek Shulman/Kerry Minnear

Composed by：Derek Shulman/Kerry Minnear/Ray Shulman

He is the runaway

Lie low the wanted man

Mask his elusive face

Soon he will getaway and free is his

Future no more aimless time to spend

And evading he's escaping

Four dirty walls and a bed

In a cage his home no more

Run in the underwood

Cover and hide the trail

Senses like sharpened sword

Guards for the shadow on his tail

And yet his joy is empty and sad

All thoughts are scarred

All thoughts are scarred with the prison cell and freedom

Seems like freedom's hell

Hopes stained with strange regret

His dreams are dreams

For that he cannot get

And yet his joy is empty and sad

Lose all identity

Vanish in own denial

Seeks only lies and hide

Truth never brought to trial

And caught in his own net

He looks to find endless life and

Evading he's escaping

Four dirty walls and a bed in a cage

His home no more

Run in the underwood

Cover and hide the trail

Senses like sharpened sword

Guards for the shadow on his tail
