Only Someone Running Lyrics by Will Oldham

Songs of Love and Horror

2018

Only someone running could run right into me
Unless that someone was someone free like me

There are things I would not do
I would even be mean and cruel
And I will not stay with you
Unless you give me all of yourself

When I was a sandy blue
And friendship dwelled in western true
Smoke and pill and lovely too
That was before you gave a view

Make a future dream be ours
Through your eyes I swallow flowers
And disdain the winter showers
Choosing then to bathe in you

And I sing evil, I sing good
I sing as a seagull should
And if you melted then I would
Melt myself all into you

Can you love the one that God does?
Can you love the lily of the field?
Can you tend the soil inside of her
Till all has been revealed?

[Whistling]

And I sing evil, I sing good
I sing as a seagull should
And if you melted then I would
Melt myself all into you

Can you love the one that God does?
Can you love the lily of the field?
Can you tend the soil inside of her
Till all has been revealed?
