Long have I wandered so far from home Come to a place I have never known Gone too deep underground Gone to far better turn around I’ve been running away I’ve been running away away (chorus) Don’t you know I need the rain to hide my tears To cover me ~ wash me clear Don’t you know I need the rain to hide my tears I’m in my cloud ~ I’m not here No killing sun to know where I go No no killing sun to know where I go Stop the world ~ make it wait Don’t you burn my eyes in the fires of day Let me stay dark and safe And this crazy rain is my last escape I’ve been running away I’ve been running away away (chorus)
