Teksty: Kathleen Edwards. Asking for Flowers. Run.

Oh, my child 30 years today
You came into my life
And everything changed

If there's one thing I tried to teach you
Girl, don't you waste your time
Come this September
You'll be somebody's wife

I won't paint a picture
Of what you wanna see
'Cause love is the harder times
Take it from me

I would run down the lane and into the night
Run so fast I swear my feet would fly
Run from my babies asleep in their beds
Run from my lover and my best friend and back again

And all of the courage
I've tried so hard to hold on to
Ever since that day
You and your brother left for school

They say just over that hill
The fog rolled in
Come quick doctor
We think somebody's been killed

I have been a healer
Of other people's pain
Yeah, I know sometimes you don't like
The ways I've changed

But the smell of the world came into my lungs
The sound of the gravel when my legs went numb
And my heart nearly burst right out of my chest
It felt so good to know I wasn't dead

I would run down the lane and into the night
Run so fast I swear my feet would fly
Run from my babies asleep in their beds
Run from my lover and my best friend, back again, back again
