Run away from time

Ray Davies, released on Other People's Lives (solo) © Davray Music Ltd. 2006

.

Hey, my friend

You can't run away from time

They say you can't fight fate

Time won't wait

You can't run away from time

.

And time is the avenger

But why should we just surrender to it?

Why go through it?

.

Run run run run run run run away

Let's run away from time

Run run run run run run run away

.

Girl, you and me

We've got to set ourselves free this time

We must try to escape because it's never too late

Liberation is ours to find

.

Hey, hey let's run away

Let's run away from time

Hey, hey let's run away

.

Hey, girl

Let's run away from time

We've still got mountains to climb

A day at a time

It's never too late, so why should we wait?

.

Take me

Save me

Maybe, baby

Run run run away

Run run run away

Run run run away

.

The world is too obsessed by the counting[?] requests

For the fountain of youth they will never find

And time is the avenger

But why should we just surrender to it?

Why go through it?

.

Run run run run run run run away

Let's run away from time

Run run run run run run run away

Run run run away

Run run run away

.

Run run run away

Run run run away

.
