She Runs Away

You may not see the end of it

But luckily she comes around

It isn't what she talks about

It's just the way she is

And she says, "Ooh darlin' don't you know

The darkness comes and the darkness goes?"

And she says, "Ooh babe, why don't you let it go?

Happiness ain't never how you think it should be so"

I mystified the simple life

I covered up with consciousness

I saw myself and broke it down

'Til nothing more was left

She saw the symptoms right away

And spoke to me in poetry

"Sometimes the more you wonder why

The worse it seems to get"

And she says, "Ooh darlin' don't you know

The darkness comes and the darkness goes?"

And she says, "Ooh babe, why don't you let it go?

Happiness ain't never how you think it should be so"

She runs away, she runs away

And then you know there comes a time

You need her more than anything

You may believe yours are the wounds

That only she can heal

Then everything will turn around

She becomes so serious

What she chose to offer you

Was all that you could have

And she says, "Ooh darlin' don't you know

The darkness comes and the darkness goes?"

And she says, "Ooh babe, why don't you let it go?

Happiness ain't never how you think it should be so"

She runs away, she runs away

She runs away, she runs away
