James Gang - Run Run Run lyrics

She runs, runs, runs and tries hard to run But slowly she moves through the field Seemingly smiling while inside she's dying Chasing a bu*terfly that she'll never feel She runs, runs, runs and tries hard to run But motion is just in her eye Two wars, a famine and decades of damning Left her a body that's just breathing to die He runs, runs, runs and tries hard to run Catching his foot on the curb Someone's demanding all his understanding The sign on his back reading, 'Please Don't Disturb' He runs, runs, runs and tries hard to run There's only an hour left to go Who is insisting, there's no use in quitting She has a reason but he'll never know It runs, runs, runs and tries hard to run To carry it's life down to the sea The water is muddy and the banks are all bloody What is the reason that it cannot flow free? They run, run, run and try hard to run A pressing engagement goes on by They hope they will never be leaving forever Why do they always stand, waving goodbye?
