Run For Me (Marc Riley BBC 6 Music Session) - Richard Hawley

Later here this morning, if the crowds hold back the rain

I’ll declare my intent to race again

Baby I’ve done running

I¹ve cut myself a deal

Gave myself a ladder, this time for real

And I’ve got nothing on the inside left to charm, just look at me

And I’ve got nothing to live up to and nothing to reveal

Go on run for me

Go on run for me

Go on run for me because I can’t take it back

Gone the summer gone the past and now it’s done

Now it’s done

The lane is laced with ashes

My road is paved with fear

I bathed myself in sweet grass to tame the years

And I’ve got nothing on the inside left to charm, just look at me

And I’ve got nothing to live up to and nothing to reveal

Go on run for me

Go on run for me

Go on run for me because I can’t take it back

Gone the summer gone the past and now it’s done

Now it’s done
