Yellow Ostrich

I'll Run

Yellow Ostrich


Sit alone now watching the streets
Sit alone now watching our feet
Soon we'll go to the churchyard

Take a minute go for a walk
Take a minute go for a jog
Soon we'll go to the churchyard

Tell your sisters they have been good
Tell your father to get us food
Soon we'll get up and go far

It has been a wonderful ride
It has been a terrible drive
Soon we'll get up and go far

And send a letter to replace the one that I sent
I am sorry for the way that I left

But if you think the day is done
My love, I've news for you
For I am not a hasty one, but when there's things to do
I'll run
