The Be Good Tanyas Only in the Past c. 2000 Ford/Parton Run away to the seashore it doesn't matter anymore Doesn't matter anymore Words dry up and fly away with the passing of the days Eventually you just let the stone fall (chorus) I dreamed that I saw you you were down at the corner store You were looking through magazines and you flew out the door I was trying to wave to you but you wouldn't wave back Now you know I understand you're with me only in the past Only in the past My palms are not open they're closed they're closed My palms are not open they're closed they're closed (chorus) colours streak the sky we laugh and we cry And we dance in the cool grass with the fireflies And we dance in the cool grass sunset birds Sweet sweet music swallow our words You set sail and you left this town Run away, run away, you're so far from me now So far from me now (chorus) (fade out)
