I've tried and tried to run and hide
And find a life that's new
But where I go, I'll always know
That I can't escape from you

A jug of wine to numb my mind
But what good does it do
The jug runs dry and still I cry
Lord I can't escape from you

These wasted tears are souvenirs
Of dreams that can't come true
But your memory is chained to me
Lord I can't escape from you

I can't pretend, there is the end
But dreams cannot come true
A slave too long to a heart of stone
Lord I can't escape from you
