It was there and bright one early morn
That to freedom I was sworn

Walls so high at forty feet
Memories
Are all I took
To a station
one early morn

Race away, race away, race away

To memories
I return
Confused and vague
One early morn

To people rushing for their lives
Memories of warmer nights
Lightning bolts
Tremendous strikes
Into love I would fight

Dream away, dream away, dream away

In some love
I was born
Early one winter’s morn

Love away, love away, love away

Now the running
Has to stop
Old legs are all I’ve got

Myself still there
Is my lot

I raced away, I raced away, I ran

From myself

Now on ageing bone
I lie
In the twilight of the night

Can’t run away, run away, run away

Crawl away

To Memory land
