Running Wild

As you were, like a child Innocent and running wild And now you're old and you're grey-haired Your dead-eyed stare You're running scared When you were young the fires spread Southeasterly to Beachy Head And London's husk of burnt out rust That led the lungs a bag of dust Draw a line in the sand Coast to coast and man to man Repopulate the Sherwood Forest And lynch the deathly pale dishonest Carve a scar across the earth Visible from high above North and South, sever ties Kiss your enemies goodbye Hold my heart like a stone Over waters deep below And running home, through the night I was running fast I was running scared I was running wild
