Run Away With Me
There ain't no concrete on the hills
Or ugly broken buildings
Even broken things look beautiful up here
If farms were left behind
Then nature has reclaimed them
There are swallows
In the rafters
Of old forgotten barns
It's just nature rearranged
In shades of green and amber
Little coloured boxes
Hemmed in by old lumps of stone
Over time the walls have weathered
And they're covered now in lichen
Entangled in this landscape
Like nothing came before
Oh God I love my country
Even though sometimes I curse her
When clouds are grey and piling up
And heavy on my heart
In summer she's bucolic
Winter's still and full of promise
Spring is an awakening
And autumn's like a hug
Oh can we stay
Forever in this heartland
Let's leave the dirty city streets behind
If I kissed you now and told you
That my love for you is endless
Would you leave the urban jungle
And run away with me?
Rivers run in valleys
Depression runs in families
And people run in circles
In shiny little cars
We're running out of time here
Let's change our destiny dear
Come with me
Let's make a brand new start
Oh can we stay
Forever in this heartland
Let's leave the dirty city streets behind
If I kissed you now and told you
That my love for you is endless
Would you leave the urban jungle
And run away with me?
Or ugly broken buildings
Even broken things look beautiful up here
If farms were left behind
Then nature has reclaimed them
There are swallows
In the rafters
Of old forgotten barns
It's just nature rearranged
In shades of green and amber
Little coloured boxes
Hemmed in by old lumps of stone
Over time the walls have weathered
And they're covered now in lichen
Entangled in this landscape
Like nothing came before
Oh God I love my country
Even though sometimes I curse her
When clouds are grey and piling up
And heavy on my heart
In summer she's bucolic
Winter's still and full of promise
Spring is an awakening
And autumn's like a hug
Oh can we stay
Forever in this heartland
Let's leave the dirty city streets behind
If I kissed you now and told you
That my love for you is endless
Would you leave the urban jungle
And run away with me?
Rivers run in valleys
Depression runs in families
And people run in circles
In shiny little cars
We're running out of time here
Let's change our destiny dear
Come with me
Let's make a brand new start
Oh can we stay
Forever in this heartland
Let's leave the dirty city streets behind
If I kissed you now and told you
That my love for you is endless
Would you leave the urban jungle
And run away with me?
