early mornin´ lookin´ tired and worn
and lookin´ out for the enemy
you made all the way to hudson bay
but you´re right back here with me
tryin´ to run away
your lips are sealed

a runaway
so tell me baby
what you´re wantin´ me to do
givin´ my love to you
mama don´t you know
now you´re livin´ like a runaway
sunday dawn you met a gypsy woman
on a road to tennessee
she told you a lot about the world to come
but did she tell you
why you couldn´t tell me
like a runaway
how one by one you run away
now tell me baby
what you want me to do
givin´ all my love to you
mama don´t you know

(chorus)

it´s gonna be a hard leavin´
you´re gonna need a strong reason
´cause i ain´t gonna start believin´
that you´re out of my life
you bet you better do your fast talkin´
before you do your last walkin´
it´s gonna be a hard hard leavin´ (talk to me)
vox humana
i wanta feel the power of speech
vox humana
sounds so right so real to me
vox humana
you gotta say
what you oughtta say
don´t try to run away
darlin´ i´m lettin´ you know
