Tom Snow - Hurry Boy Lyrics

Hurry boy, you must save yourself

You gotta leave this town tonight 'cause there's

Something here it's gonna take

You down it's gonna run your life

Don't turn around when you leave this town

You've got only one chance

Or you'll get caught up like the others

In this web of circumstance



In the town where I was born

There was a lady

Some called her crazy

But I think she's alright

She took me in one night

And was so gentle

Somehow I felt she'd been

Waiting for me



She spoke of love and war and sons and daughters

I drank some water and I fell into a dream

And in the dream I saw what lay before me

A young girl crying in a lonely churchyard scene

And as I lay there half asleep recalling

I heard this voice come calling

To me, to me

To me, to me

And you know it said



Hurry boy, you must save yourself

You gotta leave this town tonight 'cause there's

Someone here who's gonna take

You down she's gonna run your life

Don't turn around when you leave this town

You've got only one chance

Or you'll get caught up like the others

In her web of circumstance

Keep on running



I was confused and felt my senses falling

She did not tell me why when she broke the spell

And in the back of my mind I heard that lonely warning

It said keep on running, don't stop running

Keep on running away

Stumbling out into the misty morning

I couldn't help myself from looking back

And it was then I saw her for the first time

Laughing and crying, living and dying

And then I thought I heard that voice again

And she said



Hurry boy, you must save yourself

You gotta leave this town tonight 'cause there's

Someone here who's gonna take

You down she's gonna run your life

Don't turn around when you leave this town

You've got only one chance

Or you'll get caught up like the others

In her web of circumstance

Keep on running
