I run I run far from 
You to the apple tree in
my yard
With my dress all bundled up in my
hands
Dirt on my feet I am dreaming again
I
run I run I run far from 
You to the lilac tree
in my yard
no more swing set for the girl who
is all grown up
no more tea parties parades or
mothers in love
I hold my breath past the
cemetery
My brother wins he can hold it much
longer then me
Gravel roads make car keys
rattle on steering wheels 
Children and horses
old barns and old automobiles
I run I run I run
far from 
You to the watered streets of
Oregon
With a coffee cup half full in my
hands
And I’m praying my savior would

Just place a gun in my hands
I run I walk
I lie far from
Freaks and lying cheats on the
tip of my tongue
The moon hides in the sky
behind rows of tree tops
And I’m
wishing I was somewhere up there
With the
mermaids and stars
I run I run far from

Reality to escape who I’ve
become
Insanity is close at my back
And
I’m getting rather numb from the snakes

Who have blurred my vision
