CHORUS: Come running home again Katie, come running home again, Cross my heart and hope to die, shall I cause another tear from your eye? The mirror that won't talk and your nightgown on the door, The old pedal Singer just don't sing no more, You can roll the reels for hours, from the movie from this book, It's a question mark on this heart of mine, sends an elder back to look. CHORUS Katie. Now I'm looking through a tunnel back into the room, With the genius of a Druid, when the sunlight floods the tomb, And I'm never going back there, and I couldn't anyway, 'Cause though I made the great escape, I never got away. CHORUS |
