lyrics

Caught them in a trap
Eye fixed on your back
Salt seeps in the skin
Hard to watch them sink
Sent out on a plank
Won’t be coming back
Drum with aching oars
Drunk before they sank

They’ll sink you’ll

Run oh run oh run oh run oh run oh run oh run
Running under the aching sea
Run oh run oh run oh run oh run oh run oh run
Running under the aching sea

Ah you’ll sleep on granite boulders
Ah you’ll weep on leaves of gold
Ah you’ll dance on lover’s shoulders
And it’s such an angry world

Oh Run oh run oh run oh run oh run oh run oh run
Running under the aching sea

You’ll feast the minds of lovers
And you’ll sink the blind and low
Ah you’ll watch as beauty covers
Every inch the angry world

Caught them in a trap
Eye fixed on your back
Salt seeps in the skin
Hard to watch them sink
Sent out on a plank
Won’t be coming back
Drum with open oars
Drunk before they sank

Oh you’ll sleep on granite boulders
Ah you’ll weep on leaves of gold
Ah you’ll dance on lover’s shoulders
Cause it’s such an angry world

Run oh run oh run oh run oh run oh run oh run
Running under the aching sea
