Lyrics

For Lovers

I'm running away with you

That's all I ever do

That's all we ever mean

I forgive you

Everything

Meet me at the Railroad Bar

About seven o'clock

We talk til the sun goes down

Watch the lovers

Leaving town

This is for lovers

Running away

This is for lovers

Running away

Just for today

I'm running away with you

From yesterday's news

Let's leave it all behind

Help me back to my mind

I've paid the penalty

You're the jailer rattling the key

But the key is mine

I keep a spare one every time

This is for lovers

Running away

This is for lovers

Running away

Just for today

This is for lovers

Running away

This is for lovers

Running away

Just for today

This is for lovers

Running away

This is for lovers

Running away

Just for today

This is for lovers

Running away
