Runaway Lyrics by Colin Macleod

Hold Fast

2021

[Verse 1]
Oh, I had a drink last night
With an old friend from school
He told me all about the life he's leading now, he's through
With this old one horse town
It's tired looking now
There's nothing left for you 'round here
Come away with me
I'll show you the city lights, the loaded bars
There's hope for you, I tell you
[Chorus]
Oh, I had a dream last night that you would run away
Oh, I had a dream last night you would run away
Oh, I had a dream last night you would run away
You would run away, you would run away
Not look back
[Verse 2]
I smiled as I listened to
The same old words
He's played this tune a thousand times, I've heard it all before
What is it that keeps me here?
Dragging me down, holding me back
Maybe I like tired old things, maybe it's my life
For all the little flaws, I can't leave
But sometimes I get caught thinking
[Chorus]
Oh, I had a dream last night that you would run away
Oh, I had a dream last night you would run away
Oh, I had a dream last night you would run away
You would run away, you would run away
Not look back
[Bridge]
Oh, I would hit the ground, yeah, I would hit the ground
I would hit the ground and I wouldn't look back
Oh, I would hit the ground, yeah, I'd hit the ground
I would hit the ground and I wouldn't look back
For all that keeps me here
For one day of my life
[Chorus]
Oh, I had a dream last night that you would run away
Oh, I had a dream last night you would run away
Oh, I had a dream last night you would run away
You would run away, you would run away
Not look back
