She Ran Lyrics - My Paper Made Men - Amy Studt

Just a girl in a photograph 

Wearing the dress that I wear now 

A pretty face in fields of grey 

It's sad to see that nothing seems to change 

She's running from the boy in the schoolyard 

She's running through the field to the open barn 

They're laughing as the sun dances round her 

A little life within her takes it place inside her starts to grow 

She cuts the seams of a favourite frock 

She sits and listens to the old church clock 

Oh daddy daddy don't send me away 

Never been a bad girl I swear that nothing's changed 

She's running from the face of her father 

She's running from the silence in a crowded room 

She's running from the ring that he gave her 

The leaded sound of promises 

The feeling that's inside her starts to grow 

A dark day becomes a cold, cold night 

A fading light to bear a newborn life 

Two voices fade into one 

She closed her eyes with the rising sun 

She's running to the arms of an angel 

She's running from the only place she's ever known 

She's running with her heart left behind her 

They knew when they found her that they just couldn't hurt her anymore 

She's running from the face of her father 

She's running from the silence in a crowded room 

She's running from the ring that he gave her 

They knew when they found her that they just couldn't hurt her anymore 

Just a girl in a photograph 

Wearing the dress that I wear now 

A pretty face in fields of grey 

It's sad to see that nothing seems to change
