Running from Home

Written by Bert Jansch

Another song
[Intro] ->  A B C D C

[Verse 1]

Runnin’ runnin’ from home,
Breakin’ ties that you’d grown
Catchin’ dreams from the clouds

A D -> [Verse 2]

The city sounds burn your soul
Turn your head to the cries
Of loneliness in the night

A D C D -> [Verse 3]

Just like a fly when it’s caught
The spider soon takes its prey
Spins a dance round your heart

A D -> [Verse 4]

Give me your beauty and age
A pleasure pleasing my mind
Your heart will shatter and fall

A D -> [Verse 5]

Step on pavements so old
Cast a glance at the young
Girls a-making their way

A B C A D -> [Verse 6]

The passing image of you
Reflects a pain to my heart
And disappears in a crowd

A D -> [Verse 7]

Runnin’ runnin’ from home
Breakin’ ties that you’d grown
Catchin’ dreams from the clouds

[Outro] -> A B C -> E
