She's Runnin' Away Lyrics - Tim O'brien

When you look out your window and see her runnin away 

You start addin things up, how you let her down 

Now she's makin you pay, by runnin away 

It's just like some movie, one you've already seen 

You're playin the part of the guy all alone up there on the screen 

You know what that means 

Your sight's twenty cause you're lookin behind 

You only wish you had thought of some thing you could do 

To ease her mind, instead what you find is her runnin away 

Bury me in a lonesome valley 

So I can feel the sun goin up and down 

And I can hear that old river rollin 

And the cryin wind is the only sound 

It takes a whole lifetime to learn how to live 

To know when it's time to stop takin 

And learn you've got something to give, that's how to live 

But that's not my story and I'm here all alone 

The only thing left is the sound of this house 

And me pacin alone, there's nobody home, and she's runnin away 

Bury me in a lonesome valley 

So I can feel the sun goin up and down 

And I can hear that old river rollin 

And the cryin wind is the only sound
