[Intro]
Run to me
Run to me
Run to me
Run to me
Where the sun never leaves
Run to me, my special one
Run to me
[Verse 1]
Find first obsessions before yourself
A candlesong for where you are
You can't escape this, like someone else
Your love remains
[Chorus]
Run to me
Run to me
Run to me, my special one
Run to me
Run to me, my lover strange
Run to me, who can't be changed
Run to me
Run to me
[Verse 2]
Where the frost spoils the leaf
Run to me
Run to me
As the desert rose desert dreams
Run to me, my tender sage
Run to me
[Bridge]

[Chorus]
Run to me, my lover strange
Run to me
Run to me, my silent page
Run to me, you that can't be named
Run to me, yeah
Run to me
Run to me
Run to me
Run to me
No other door sets us free
Run to me
Run to me
Run to me
My lover strange
Run to me, my lover strange
Run to me, my lover strange
Run to me
