Lyrics[]
I walk along the avenue
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you
Meet a girl like you
With auburn hair and tawny eyes
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through
Hypnotize me through
And I ran,
I ran so far away
I just ran,
I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away
I couldn't. I tried, but I couldn't. (giggles)
A cloud appears above your head
A beam of light comes shining down on you
Shining down on you
The cloud is moving nearer still
Aurora borealis comes in view
Aurora comes in view
And I ran,
I ran so far away
I just ran,
I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away
I ran a really long time. (giggles) Must've been miles... kilometers! It's kind of a marathon at night.
Reached out a hand to touch your face
You're slowly disappearing from my view
'Pearing from my view
Reached out a hand to try again
I'm floating in a beam of light with you
Beam of light with you
And I ran,
I ran so far away
I just ran,
I ran all night and day
And I ran,
I ran so far away
I just ran,
I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away
