She Ran

Padadapow, padadapow, padadapow
Padadapow, padadapow, padadapow
Just a girl in a photograph
Wearing the dress that I wear now
A pretty face in fields of grey
It's sad to see that nothing seems to change

She's running from the boy in the schoolyard
She's running through the field to the open heart
They're laughing as the sun dances around them
Little lies within her, takes its place inside her, starts to grow

She cuts the seams of favourite frock
She sits and listens to the old church clock
Oh, daddy, daddy, don't send me away
Never been a bad girl, I swear that nothing had changed

She's running from the face of her father
She's running from the silence in a crowded room
She's running from the ring daddy gave her
The latter sound of promises, the feeling that's inside her starts to grow

At the end of the day comes a cold, cold night
Fading light to bear a newborn life
Two voices fade into one
She closed her eyes with the rising sun

She's running to the arms of an angel
She's running from the only place she's ever known
She's running with her heart left behind her
They knew when they found her that they just couldn't hurt her anymore

She's running from the face of her father
She's running from the silence in a crowded room
She's running from the ring daddy gave her
They knew when they found her that they just couldn't hurt her anymore

Just a girl in a photo (photo)
Wearing the dress that I wear now
A pretty face in fields of grey
It's sad to see that nothing seems to change
