Lyrics
Honey words, fruits devine
I believed you were mine
Fooled when I gazed in your eyes
Are there still more lies ?
Our sand was tumbling, tumbling
The glass had been turned
Our sand was tumbling,tumbling
Falling and trickling
The glass had been turned
Run, run run to your sweet Lou
her arms are trembling for you
Run, run run to your sweet Lou
She hopes you'llbe true
So much presumed..................................................................
YOU'VE GOT IT ALL UNDER CONTROL, ALL THE BEASTS AND THE WAVES CRASHING IN YOUR SOUL
So much denied.......................................................................
YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO SAY A WORD,ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU'D SAY,I'VE ALREADY HEARD
So much in doubt......................................................................
ALL THE SAFETY IN THE BLACK AND WHITE,THE WRONG AND RIGHT,THE NO-BETWEEN
So much to hide........................................................................
YOU'RE SCARED OF WHAT YOU CAN'T CONTROL,CAN'T CONSOLE,YOU CAN'T REALIZE
What's right for you,maybe wrong for me
What's tight for you, may set me free. Set me free ,set me free, set me free c'mon and set me free
Deep passion bitter pain
Broken dreams are what remain
She wanted me to know
My bonny loves her so
Our sand was tumbling.tumbling
The glass had been turned
Our sand was tumbling, tumbling
Falling and trickling
The glass had been turned
Run,run,run to your sweet Lou
She longs for a life with you
Run, run, run to your sweet Lou
It's time to start anew
