Texty: John Hiatt. The Nagging Dark.

how fast you gonna run?

away from this one

anywhere but here

you wanna disappear

to the next daylight

where everythings right

it's always somewhere else

you're gonna fix yourself

once shame and guilt

have made their mark



CHORUS:

you can't run away from the nagging dark

toy carry it everywhere in your heart

it finishes everything that you start

you can't run away from the nagging dark



how much it gonna cost?

when everything's lost

what a price you'd pay

just to feel some way

'Cause you're heart is stone

ground down to the bone

all your flesh and blood

just ashes and mud

feels like

your soul's been blown apart



CHORUS:

you can't run away from the nagging dark

toy carry it everywhere in your heart

it finishes everything that you start

you can't run away from the nagging dark



how far can you see?

will you even be free?

through the blackest night

you still hold on tight



hope is your finest work

it's your finest work

hope is your finest work of art



CHORUS:

you can't run away from the nagging dark

toy carry it everywhere in your heart

it finishes everything that you start

you can't run away from the nagging dark
