There used to be England, a place I would run to A home in my heart and a dream on my sleeve I figured a moment and stared into water It seemed for a while that this hope wouldn’t leave
“Run away, run away”, she said, “All is eventual” “Run away now, run away from this lie”
Chorus: And I can’t help believing, in the absence of feeling As I’m turning away from my heart Still I don’t want to turn Cos turning makes you fall I will find you, I will find you, I will find you
There used to be rainfall in this quiet playground A place and a time when I used to feel love I covered some distance and never looked backwards Remind me, my friend, why I tripped and I fell
Run away, run away, there’s no reason to stay now Run away now, run away for your life
(Chorus)
Run away now, away now Run away you’ve built a wall Run away now, away now, away now
