Running Away

I was running, death in my heart,

Was running away to the end.

Dark angel, take me in your wings.

Wings of shadow, feathers of wind,

Take me into oblivion.

Can anyone catch me, hold me,

On my flight to the world's end?

Can anyone save me from these

Wings of shadow, feathers of wind

Taking me to oblivion?

Singing to me at the world's end,

A man in black, farther in flight,

Despairing of his lost wings,

The sky now so far above him.

Oh, mine! This lonely heart is mine.

I was running, death in my heart,

Was running away to the end.

There I found you, there you left me,

With all my mourning never done

For losses left far behind me.

I was running, death in my heart,

Was running away to the end.

Dark angel, take me in your wings.

Wings of shadow, feathers of wind,

Taking me to oblivion.
