Lyrics
RUN AMELIA
Run Amelia, the sky’s turning gray
Rain falls so hard on judgment day
Run Amelia, from sorrow and shame
Time can’t wash it away
Oh, the clouds are rolling in now
And there’s nothing you can do
And all the choices you made, baby
They’re bearing down on you
And your lies pace like animals
Pulling on their chains
Better get out before the thunder
The sky’s about to change
Run Amelia, the sky’s turning gray
Rain falls so hard on judgment day
Run Amelia, from sorrow and shame
Time can’t wash it away
I guess you’re gonna run forever
And you’ll always be the same
Maybe you’ll find forgiveness
In the eye of the hurricane
Run Amelia, the sky’s turning gray
Time can’t wash it away
Amelia, you can’t shake the blame
Keep running and maybe someday
Babe, you’ll get used to the pain
Run Amelia, the sky’s turning gray
Rain falls so hard on judgment day
Run Amelia, from sorrow and shame
Time can’t wash it away
