Lyrics

In the dark you searched me out
Came to my home lost and turned about
We got along and you chose to stay
We had a son who learned my ways

Now you say you must be free
Leave me to live here in agony
I heard you making plans with him
You can go as long as you come back again

Don’t run away
Don’t run away

I did what I could for you
Showed you things you never knew
We walked together under the trees
But-now you would see me on my knees

Stay with me, stay with me
In eternal night
Stay with me, stay with me
And I’ll treat you right

No one knows where you are
Since you left your home
You better stay

Don’t run away
Don’t run away
No looking back
Do as I say

So you left took your chance with him
While I was away toiling yet again
But I’ve come back and I’m tracking you
This is what I warned you not to do

When I caught up to you they took me away
Told me I could never leave and our son had to stay
I’m too proud I won’t live in your gilded cage
I’d rather die

No I won’t stay
No I won’t stay
Don’t run away
Do as I say

I’ll take another way
Our boy will do the same
Just don’t get in the way
