We'll run away We're running away Where you gonna go? Where you gonna away to?
Have you got a fine place to slip to when you're feeling down? Have you had a week or two just to get your troubles down? Slip behind a rock and it'll raise out to her and times of the bowery I found a lot of life and laughter with her grandfather in the bowery
She had a body of sixteen or seventeen And a mind of forty I met her on a cold day In a city far away Where the world's about zero And I saw at once into her soul She smiled and called me her hero Then like a walk in the rain, in the rain, in the rain, in the rain I found a lot of life that day With her grandfather in the bowery 'cause I lie down like the wild She had a halo of gold Told me stories of her life and her courage was sublime 'cause you're mine I walk the line
Well, she comes down tiger's and elephant's teeth Elephants are climbing the zoo Monkeys and beggars and thiefs And little orphan annie is too
Everything is under the sun It'd be you and I and everyone But if I didn't like it that way I'd have to change it!
