Twenty naked shadows upon my wall;
Left there by the suitors inside my hall.
You run away, you run away,
You run away, you run away.
Curly haired and twisted, you noble lad;
Touch me like the father I never had.
You run away, you run away,
You run away, you run away.
Secret book the color of the sky-
Slide it like a paper beneath your thigh.
You run away, you run away,
You run away, you run away.
Lillies bow like maidens, in the field I wait for you.
Sitting there with roses, like a child I wait for you.
Sky upon my shoulders, like a god I wait for you.
Petals fall around me, like a ghost I wait for you
I wait for you, I wait for you.
Twenty thousand soldiers is what you see.
You are bound by leather, but not to me.
You run away, you run away,
You run away, you run away.
