lyrics

4. You’re Running Away, David

You’re running away, David
Do you think your giant will just disappear?
He’s waiting around to tear you limb from limb
And it’s either you or it’s got to be him to take that fall

When I dream I still hear the waves
Splashing in the shell you once held to my ear
The ocean was always near how I picture you then
Now your laughter echoes where the laugh lines began their slow crawl

A driftwood branch in your trembling hands
Could be as good as any other’s lance
If you thought this was going to be easy, now you know
Choose your stone, carve a sling from ash
There’s a wishbone hidden in the hourglass
And nothing quite like first steps in the snow

You’re running away, David
Did a thief split with your tongue
And leave a nightingale’s song, so sad and slow
Is that why you’re perched at your window wearing the curtain like a cape?

When I dream I still can recall
Your porch moths foraging the slender light
We talked through the summer night, so unaware
But now I’ve come to fear your fear
Are we only this decay?

David, you’re running away
David, you’re running away
David, you’re running away
