M. Ward Lyrics
"The First Time I Ran Away"

The first time I ran away I saw
Faces in the trees, I heard
Voices in the storm
They say
Uh, uh...
(By the waterfall)
Uh, uh...

The second time I ran away I saw
Warriors on the train catching
Tigers by the tail
They say
Uh, uh...
Uh, uh...

Cause when they look at you as if you were a stranger
The way they talk to you as if you were a child

(By the waterfall)

Last time I ran away, well I hope it is with you
Let me show you where to run
Uh, uh...
Uh, uh...
