I ran so Amuch before she Bcame
Then I saw you we Ggrew together
YAou were just the same

AgaiAnst your families Bwill
We planned to run away
She Gsaid to meet me at Anight on the hill

We could have made it out but
BbIn the night they Csold her life

Now there's Fnothing more than this
A lonely Csky amongst the mist
