(found sounds recorded from session at North Pole Bar, Carroghill, Drumfree, Co. Donegal, Ireland 2022)

lyrics

The sky’s lying low, she is breathless.
The stars have left town, there’s no torch in the dark,
The clouds smother earth, like we live in a nightmare.

I just want to turn my back and run (x3)
For the hills.

My name is attached to the problem.
You seem to think I am the root and the cause,
To all of the woes that once flew from your window.

I just want to turn my back and run (x3)
For the hills.

Your face is so blank, I daren’t read it.
I can’t catch your blame with the wind in my sails
There’ll be somebody else will mop up your anguish.

I just want to turn my back and run (x3)
For the hills.
