I'm running away on a day like today
Nothing you say could cause me to stay
Jackdaw (jackdaw)
Leaving by your back door
Should be gone by now
Should be gone by now
Should be gone by now
Don't try to follow, just leave it alone
The trains have all left now and the station is closed
Jackdaw (jackdaw)
Leaving by your back door
Should be gone by now
Should be gone by now
Should be gone by now
It's five in the morning and it's rainy and cold
Just go back to sleep now and you won't see me go
Jackdaw (jackdaw)
Leaving by your back door
Should be gone by now
Should be gone by now
Should be gone by now
Jackdaw was written by Al Stewart.
