Madonna - Ray of light - Mergirl

MERGIRL

I ran from my house that cannot contain me
From the man that I cannot keep
From my mother who haunts me
Even though she's gone from my daughter that never stops
I ran from the noise and the silence
From the traffic on the streets
I ran to the treetops
I ran to the sky to the lake into the rain
That matted my hair and soaked my shoes and skin
Hid my tears hid my fears
I ran to the forest I ran to the trees
I ran and ran I was looking for me
I ran past the churches and the crooked old mailbox
Past the apple orchards and the lady that never talks
Up into the hills
I ran to the cemetery and held my breath
And thought about your death
I ran to the lake up into the hills
I ran and I ran I'm looking there still
And I saw the crumbling tombstones
The forgotten names I tasted the rain
I tasted my tears I cursed the angels
I tasted my fears and the ground gave way
Beneath my feet and the earth took me in her arms
Leaves covered my face ants marched
Across my back the black sky opened up blinding me
I ran to the forest I ran to the trees
I ran and I ran I was looking for me
I ran to the lakes and upto the hill
I ran and I ran I'm looking there still
And I smelt her burning flesh
Her rotting bones her decay
I ran and I ran I'm still running today
It's a magic carpet ride all the doors will open wide
To happy people like you
