[Verse 1]

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



[Chorus]

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



[Verse 2]

I've seen them shakes

Their bodies throw, it's a rollercoaster

I don't know better, no

But my will is on the wait for the snow to fall

Gently in the night, gently in the night



[Chorus]

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



[Outro]

Trust me, baby star

These things you know in your heart

You go, you go and you will 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
