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
