RUN
Sandy Shaw - 1966


As the wind blows through the trees
It sometimes seems to whisper, he is calling me
Then when the rain falls upon the ground
I often think that it’s him following me
I don’t stop to see if he’s behind me
I just keep on going, he must never find me
He thinks I still belong to him     
Someone must run, I said someone must run

The sun is sinking from the sky
I see a shadow and I think it must be him
Sometimes I see someone with their back towards me  
I think it could just be him
If the telephone rings, I don’t pick it up 
If someone knocks at the door, it remains shut
What would he do if he found me?
Someone must run, I said someone must run

As the wind blows through the trees, 
It sometimes seems to whisper, he is calling me
Then when the rain falls upon the ground
I often think that it’s him following me
I don’t stop to see if he’s behind me
I just keep on going, he must never find me
He thinks I still belong to him
Someone must run, I said someone must run
