Runaway

You may not see the end of it

But luckily she comes around

It isn't what she talks about

It's just the way she isAnd she says, "Ooh darlin' don't you know

The darkness comes and the darkness goes?"

And she says, "Ooh babe, why don't you let it go?

Happiness ain't never how you think it should be so"I mystified the simple life

I covered up with consciousness

I saw myself and broke it down

'Til nothing more was leftShe saw the symptoms right away

And spoke to me in poetry

"Sometimes the more you wonder why

The worse it seems to get"And she says, "Ooh darlin' don't you know

The darkness comes and the darkness goes?"

And she says, "Ooh babe, why don't you let it go?

Happiness ain't never how you think it should be so"She runs away, she runs away
