7:30 he opens up a letter and finds out about you
Does he ever!
Scarcely breathing he doesn’t understand yet
But shortly it comes and stiff like the tin man he runs

At the scene now and suddenly he’s fearful
He can’t picture her face cold and lifeless
Still he must know and so he shuffles forward
His hand goes to his face
His eyes close but still he sees

He keeps thinking maybe this is imaginary
Perhaps he’s been dreaming or something
But he can’t wake up and deep down he knows he’s not sleeping
He’s chagrined to find
He loves her much more than he realized before

Run away young man run as fast as you can
Until the air in your lungs burns the thought from your head
Run away boy or this will destroy you
Someday you will face it my son but for now you must run

And in time you’ll say that she was not meant to stay
And you will let go that way and you will let go
And in time you’ll say that she was not meant to stay
And you will let go that way as everyone knows
