[Intro]
Run, sweet Helen, run with your beauty or dream
And be golden somewhere
Our time for soaring is not long in passing
Whole world waits for you out there

[Verse 1]
Child apart from the children
Child of make-believe mornings
Lookin' through muddy windows
On the east side of town

[Verse 2]
It's your life, do it your life
Just what you were born to
And always look up, babe
Ah, never look down

[Chorus]
Leave here runnin', baby
Leave here runnin'
All by yourself alone
Some find, some keep
Some lose, some weep
You'll fly where no others have flown
[Verse 3]
Ah, the sin is forgiven
To your older sister
But she hasn't the courage
To sing when everything's wrong

[Verse 4]
And your parents need somethin'
To their gin bottle evenin'
Even while she was dreamin'
Her own dreams have all gone

[Bridge]
Run, sweet Helen, run with your beauty or dream
And be golden somewhere
Our time for soaring is not long in passing
Whole world waits for you out there

[Chorus]
Leave here runnin', baby
Leave here runnin'
All by yourself alone
Some find, some keep
Some lose, some weep
You'll fly where no others have flown
[Outro]
Have flown
