Only Someone Running - Matt Sweeney, Bonnie "Prince" Billy

Only someone running would run right into me

Unless that someone was someone free like me

There are things I will not do

I will even be mean and cruel

And I will not stay with you

Unless you give me all of yourself

When I was a sandy blue

And friendship dwelled in western true

Smokin' pill and lovely too

That was before you gave a view

We’ll make a future dream be ours

Through your eyes I swallow flowers

And disdain the winter showers

Choosing then to bathe in you

And I sing evil, I sing good

I sing as a seagull should

And if you melted then I would

Melt myself all into you

Can you love the one that God does?

Can you love the lily of the field?

Can you tend the soil inside of her

Till all has been revealed?

And I sing evil, I sing good

I sing as a seagull should

And if you melted then I would

Melt myself all into you

Can you love the one that God does?

(Can you love the one that God does?)

Can you love the lily of the field?

(Can you love the lily of the field?)

Can you tend the soil inside of her

(Can you tend the soil inside her)

Till all has been revealed?
