Run Lyrics - Asking For Flowers - Kathleen Edwards

Oh, my child 30 years today 

You came into my life 

And everything changed 

If there's one thing I tried to teach you 

Girl, don't you waste your time 

Come this September 

You'll be somebody's wife 

I won't paint a picture 

Of what you wanna see 

'Cause love is the harder times 

Take it from me 

I would run down the lane and into the night 

Run so fast I swear my feet would fly 

Run from my babies asleep in their beds 

Run from my lover and my best friend and back again 

And all of the courage 

I've tried so hard to hold on to 

Ever since that day 

You and your brother left for school 

They say just over that hill 

The fog rolled in 

Come quick doctor 

We think somebody's been killed 

I have been a healer 

Of other people's pain 

Yeah, I know sometimes you don't like 

The ways I've changed 

But the smell of the world came into my lungs 

The sound of the gravel when my legs went numb 

And my heart nearly burst right out of my chest 

It felt so good to know I wasn't dead 

I would run down the lane and into the night 

Run so fast I swear my feet would fly 

Run from my babies asleep in their beds 

Run from my lover and my best friend, back again, back again
