I am a child

I am a sanctuary

Wild at my mother's knee

Freedom has a piece of me

Every night I run away

Loose the nooses and drift astray

Chasing dreams into outer space

Trying to face

The day



Living life

Against the law

Forcing us all to endure

Sneaking home to close the door

Every night we run away

Loose the nooses and drift astray

Chasing dreams into outer space

Trying to face

The day



Every night we do our best to lose it

Skinning up and chasing better days

Getting up and moving to the music

O dance my darling lady fair

My darling mayflower

Show me just how much you dare

Forget our daytime labour



We're in the wind

You feel us in the breeze

Teaching leaves

To grow the trees

Smoothing

Daytime memories

And every night we run away

Loose the nooses and drift astray

Chasing dreams into outer space

Trying to face

The day
