A Desperate Man

I made a daring escape in the guise of a nun

It took them most of the day to realise I was gone

I crossed the forests and fields of wheat

A famer's daughter gave me something to eat

I stole a paper just to see the picture of me

I'm a desperate man

I've gotta keep on running

I've gotta do what I can

To get back to you

I made the overnight ferry by the skin of my teeth

I fell asleep between the truckers

Sprawled across the seats

I see your face everywhere I go

In every cafe an watering hole

What is this hold you've got on me, baby

I'm a desperate man

I've gotta keep on running

I've gotta do what I can

To get back to you

I'm a desperate man

I've gotta keep on running

Running back to you

Nobody else will do
