I wanted him to be my animal friend Who'd be there for me in times thick and thin I wasn't planning on him to become The very thing that I'd be running from And I lick the salt away from my wounds You told me it would make me strong But I'm wounded now and I'm confused You wanted me to be a better woman Chorus: So take me to the hills, oh take me far away This city's breaking pieces off me every day Out here there's no-one to string along Out here there's no-one to be running from And how can you be so sure of your own When there's a million ways to see And how can I throw it all away When you feel so much like home to me But I live in darkness now, it's plain to see Oh please don't be afraid Climb down here it won't make you weak And together we'll grow stronger every day Chorus

Come on little darlin/knock down the door Yeah I've seen your face before Screamin and crying then begging for more Yeah I've seen your face before/Yeah I've seen your face before Lover growing wilder/down on the floor Yeah I've seen your face before Heart's getting tighter/that's for sure Yeah I've seen your face before/Yeah I've seen your face before You act so surprised but you know me so intimately And when I'm in my darkest night there you are for all to see For all to see/there you are for all to see I can see that light shine so far away Guess I'll stay right here Burrow in the dirt and sink into the clay And this is where I'll stay/this is where I'll stay And it was always like this/you can't hide what is yours Sunrise and I can't hide it anymore So excited about the world And I won't stay here too much longer in this landscape There's too much to do and the sky is always blue I don't want your blue skies honey/give me cloudy any day Red horizon calling me sayin darlin come away/sayin darlin come away Sayin darlin come away Darlin come away

Don't look back/just keep on travelling on Don't look back/just keep on moving on Don't look back at me/just keep moving those feet 'Cos if you look back/you're gonna see what a mess I'm in (mmmm) Give me a great big coat/to shelter 'gainst the rain I'm settin' down that big old road/it's gonna take me back again Don't look back/just keep steering that ship 'Cos if you look back/you're gonna see what a mess I'm in Chorus: x2 Honey you've gone Honey's gone back home Oh go on back/to the place that you call home (mmmm) Take those cares/and throw them into the sea Still so scared/what makes you think you could carry me Don't look back/just keep moving those feet Cos if you look back/you're gonna see what a mess I'm in Chorus

Chorus: That flame/that little sacred flame has gone out in me x3 How to reclaim it/reclaim my life poetry awakened a fire in me that is struggling to stay warm/and red and yellow/and orange and gold not blue Oh what am I to do/oh what am i to do/tell me what am i to do without chorus how to reclaim it/reclaim my life melody awakened a child in me/that is struggling to stay warm and reaching out its tiny arms for more I want more of that/give me more of that/I want more of that what it is you got Oh this mountain is so steep/and it won't stop till I'm gone it's so easy to lie down/when that flame is nearly all gone x2 chorus How to reclaim it/reclaim my light empathy awakened a flood in me/that is pouring out the door and now onto the street/now it's shining there for all to see I'm so sorry/I'm so sorry/you're so sorry/you're so sorry/ Don't apologize/woman stand up and defend your rights Like a proud and hungry tiger/you have to stand up to survive I find it all falls away/every time i look up at the stars x2 chorus
