[Verse 1]
Heard a shout and someone calling
Strained in darkness
Vapour, like a veil, hangs over
The city tonight

[Verse 2]
Hanging there behind the trees
A blood-red moon is watching
I was waiting for you
Dread in my heart

[Verse 3]
Where the wind sings by the river
Laughing, broken
Hair swept out into the water
Ripples of black

[Refrain 1]
Run, you better run
You better run for your life

[Chorus 1]
Oh, it rips through the sky
Oh, a light flickers on
Jo, I know you would say
“Don’t wait for me now”

[Post-Chorus]
Shiver while you’re breathe in
Hold on while you breathe loud
I see the dawn
Shiver while you breathe in
Hold on while I breath loud

[Verse 4]
Filigree of time demeaning
Sunset, spoken
Where the wind sings by the river
Ripples of black

[Refrain 2]
Days, you gotta run
You gotta run for your life
Run, you better run
You better run for your life

[Refrain 2]
Days, you gotta run
You gotta run for your life
Run, you better run
You better run for your life

[Refrain 2]
Days, you gotta run
You gotta run for your life
Run, you better run
You better run for your life

[Chorus 2]
Oh, you live 'til you breathe
Don’t run with me
Breathe your life while you wait
Don’t wait for me now
