Hold my head high
So I won't see what is comin' underneath
Baby pelican
I got no wings so I'm walkin' in the sand

Thoughtful into the night
Thoughtful into the night

One day I will run away, run away
Do not grieve, baby, 'cause I will not
Oh, my darlin', someday I will run away, run away
And realize that they were always wrong
I wander on and I will never come back

I've seen them shades
Their bodies throw, it's a roller coaster
I don't know better, no
Put my wellies on and wait for the snow to fall

Gently in the night
Gently in the night

One day I will run away, run away
Do not grieve, baby, 'cause I will not
Oh, my darlin', someday I will run away, run away
And realize that they were always wrong
I wander on and
One day I will run away, run away
Do not grieve, baby, 'cause I will not
Oh, my darlin', someday I will run away, run away
And realize that they were always wrong
I wander on and I will never come back

Trust me, baby star
These things you know in your heart
You go, you go and you'll lose
You lose so much, but keep up
Trust me, baby star
These things you know
Don't you ever go cheat on your heart
Ooh, if it leaves you
You'll be lost in the dark
