Run Four Star Mary

if i could remember
a face i'd never seen
deep in these embers
that glow on endlessly
what would they tell me
if others had lost their faith
what would they sell me
if we had lost our way

if i could wake up
and see another day
if i could fake all
the lies i'd never said
how would i know you
if i had turned away
what that would show you
i never could have said

and we've got to run
deep through these forests
or hang upon the hill
i've got a wish
something to promise
but, no i never will

if i could walk out
and see another sky
if i could talk about
the heavens that had cried
how i would love you
and never walk away
how i would show you
i've never had to pray

and we've got to run
deep through these forests
or hang upon the hill
i've got a wish
something to promise
but, no i never will

if i could walk out
no, i'd never lie...
