You Can Run Lyrics

There are nights when I sleep like a baby
And dream without words, just color and form
And there are nights of barking dogs, lightning and thunder
What I know about angels I learned in a thunderstorm
So many storms, first summer on my own
Burning with fever and drenched to the bone
Waking in a strange room, my long legs strange to me
Saying-this is not my body, this is not my home
Oh, you can run...

So I'm driving down the street in a borrowed car
With my eyes wide open for the very first time
It's the age of Aquarius and everything is new
From the litter in the gutter to the curve of my spine
James Taylor on the radio
Making me long for love and experience
I can do what I want 'cause I have all the time in the world
To take it all back, make it right in the end
Oh, you can run, but you cannot...

I was born the right time for trouble it seems
Can make your own rules if you know where to run
But there's too many words coming into my dreams
Too many lies rolling off my tongue
Dog barking and the porch light on
But no one home I can look in the eye
Send me down lightning and angel's wings
No one's going to see me cry
Oh, you can run but you cannot fly
