| Flower child, she’s not the one you’re chasing
|
| She’s the one who’s caught in outer space
|
| Held down by tinsel thread and chain out of leather
|
| To make her go the other way
|
| Her mama cries, just a wound on a baby
|
| Gettin' older every step she takes
|
| 'Cause now, she knows it’s just a world for her takin'
|
| And somethin’s drawin' her away
|
| And if you start feelin' weak, turn yourself around
|
| Force the weather to follow
|
| Find an empty street and kneel down
|
| Let it take your sorrows
|
| Tell me how much strength and honesty
|
| You ought to be sendin' my way
|
| 'Til I forgive you simply
|
| And keep goin' away
|
| Tell me how much strength and empathy
|
| You ought to be sendin' my way
|
| 'Til I forgive who you wanna be
|
| And keep goin' away (Mm)
|
| In the valley she’s a daughter who’s taken
|
| To never makin' a mistake
|
| And vowed to save all of her risky behaviour
|
| For pourin' over on a page
|
| She’s got a little book it’s safe in her pocket
|
| She writes a little every day
|
| On how she really wants to cry, learn a lesson
|
| And feel a little for a change
|
| And if you start feelin' weak, turn yourself around
|
| Force the weather to follow
|
| Find an empty street and kneel down
|
| Let it take your sorrows
|
| Tell me how much strength and honesty
|
| You ought to be sendin' my way
|
| 'Til I forgive you simply
|
| And keep goin' away
|
| Tell me how much strength and empathy
|
| You ought to be sendin' my way
|
| 'Til I forgive who you wanna be
|
| And keep goin' away (Ooh)
|
| I’m not runnin' away but I can’t take it anymore I’m sorry
|
| I’m not runnin' away but I can’t stay here anymore I’m sorry
|
| I’m not runnin' away but I can’t stay this anymore I’m sorry
|
| I’m not runnin' away but I can’t take it anymore |
