Bonnie “Prince” Billy
Only Someone Running
Only someone running would run right into me
Unless that someone was someone free like me
There are things I will not do
I will even be mean and cruel
And I will not stay with you
Unless you give me all of yourself
When I was a sandy blue
And friendship dwelled in western true
Smokin' pill and lovely too
That was before you gave a view
We'll make a future dream be ours
Through your eyes I swallow flowers
And disdain the winter showers
Choosing then to bathe in you
And I sing evil, I sing good
I sing as a seagull should
And if you melted then I would
Melt myself all into you
Can you love the one that God does?
Can you love the lily of the field?
Can you tend the soil inside of her
Till all has been revealed?
And I sing evil, I sing good
I sing as a seagull should
And if you melted then I would
Melt myself all into you
Can you love the one that God does?
(Can you love the one that God does?)
Can you love the lily of the field?
(Can you love the lily of the field?)
Can you tend the soil inside of her
(Can you tend the soil inside her)
Till all has been revealed?
