Lyrics

  1. I keep running away from you
    A week, a month or a day from you
    But all the time I’m away from you
    You are there by my side
    The further away
    The closer you stay by my side
  2. I keep leaving you far behind
    I try to banish you from my mind
    I run away but I always find
    You are there by my side
    The further away
    The closer you stay by my side

I try doing without you
But wherever I go
I keep taking you with me
And that worries me so
I keep running away from you
A week, a month or a day from you
But all the time I’m away from you
You are there by my side
The further away
The closer you stay by my side
Yes, the further I fly
The closer you’re by my side
