Nets from Different Flowers by Peter Beatty

Nets

You ran away to here
You said that time wouldn’t listen
Thought you could slip into the dark
And not a soul see you go missing

With just a bag, a needle and thread
I guess you could say the tools of a trade
Tying in knots down by the water
Nobody’ sister nobody’s daughter

Welcome to another town you’ll run from
As you keep on running

He had her marked right from day one
He pushed her down with a stumble and some
But into his side she pushed her pin
And out rushed the blood as red as a sin

Welcome to another town you’ll run from
As you keep on running

You did your best dear
But they will make you run
And every drop of breath here
That is left in your lungs
You keep on running

It’s not my fault you see
They’ll keep on chasing me
Until I walk into the sea
I’ll take my own from me

And I’ll swim with the fish in the sea
And never will you catch me
‘Cause I tied the knots you see
And I’ll take my own from me

Welcome to another town you’ll run from
As you keep on running

You did your best dear
But they will make you run
And every drop of breath here
That is left in your lungs

You keep on running on
You keep on running on
