Run Away

When in the process of flipping through mail,
And remembering letters from lovers so pale,
Its not myself who's enchanted with words,
Tis that romantic in me, he feeds the birds.

What birds you ask? Well, Ill tell you without reserve!
Those beautifully dangerous doves, this pain I quite deserve.
I try time again, to resist that ancient pull,
Yet I give in, when that magic blows on me! It attacks my mind in full!

And letters, those letters! They are going to drown me one day.
When my heart stops beating, because of signal delay.
You see, my heart has a mind of its own, through my brain tries to dominate,
Revolution breaks out, and my hearts decides to roller skate.

Then after that escapade, my heart feels wild and free,
It rebels, and guess what? It invites two lovers to tea!
But one flies north, and wouldn't you know it, south the other one flew,
And my foolish heart cries, and tries to split itself in two.

But it can't, and it doesn't, and I'm left with a awful curse,
A mind that is confused and angry, and a heart that keeps trying to burst,
Letters, I lock them up, and keep them buried beneath a dune,
Until I hear a quiet sound, under the light of the moon,

It grows a little louder, tickles my ears, and it bursts into a song,
With a melody so fast and powerful, and a temptation so lithe and strong,
Take a chance, it says, come chase me through the woods tonight!
In the twilight glow, I go numb, and lose my will to fight.

But fight I do, because I have been in that sorrow,
All the while the haunting music plays, outside my bedroom window,
My heart is grateful to me, it knows I'm trying to help,
And it settles into a rhythmic sway, sort of like ocean kelp.

I am grateful for the peace, and my heart is happy too,
Its living in one home, its the best that I can do,
Its in my chest, and there it tries to stay,
but every time that music floats in, it tries to run away.
