Running From Home Lyrics

by Bert Jansch

Runnin' runnin' from home,
Breakin' ties that you'd grown
Catchin' dreams from the clouds

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e78637-bert_jansch~running_from_home_lyrics.html ]
The city sounds burn your soul
Turn your head to the cries
Of loneliness in the night

Just like a fly when it's caught
The spider soon takes it's prey
Spins a dance round your heart

Give me your beauty and age
A pleasure pleasing my mind
Your heart will shatter and fall

Step on pavements so old
Cast a glance at the young
Girls a-making their way

The passing image of you
Reflects a pain to my heart
And disappears in a crowd

Runnin' runnin' from home
Breakin' ties that you'd grown
Catchin' dreams from the clouds
