Jo

Heard a shout of someone calling
Strained in darkness.
Vapour, like a veil, hangs over
The city tonight.
Hanging there behind the trees,
A blood-red moon is
Watching. I was waiting for you,
Dread in my heart.
Where the wind sings by the river
Laughing. Broken.
Hair swept out into the water,
Ripples of black.
Run, you better run,
You better run for your life.
Oh, it rips through the sky.
Oh, a light flickers on.
Jo, I know you would say,
“Don’t wait for me now”.
Shiver while you’re breathe in,
Hold on while you breathe loud.
I see the dawn.
Shiver while you breathe in,
Hold on while you breathe loud.
Aah.
Filigree of time remaining
Sunset. Spoken.
Where the wind sits by the river,
Ripples of black.
Days, you gotta run,
You gotta run for your life.
Run, you better run,
You better run for your life.
Days, you gotta run,
You gotta run for your life.
Run, you better run,
You better run for your life.
Days, you gotta run,
You gotta run for your life.
Run, you better run,
You better run for your life.
Days, you gotta run,
You gotta run for your life.
Run, you better run,
You better run for your life.
Days, you gotta run,
You gotta run for your life.
Run, you better run,
You better run for your life.
Days, you gotta run,
You gotta run for your life.
Run, you better run,
You better run for your life.
Oh, you live till you breathe,
Don’t run with me.
Breathe your life while you wait,
Don’t wait for me now.
Days, you gotta run,
You gotta run for your life.
Run, you better run,
You better run for your life.
Days, you gotta run,
You gotta run for your life.
Run, you better run,
You better run for your life.
Days, you gotta run,
You gotta run for your life.
Run, you better run,
You better run for your life.
