Early mornin' lookin' tired and worn   And lookin' out for the enemy   You made all the way to Hudson Bay   But you're right back here with me   Tryin' to run away   Your lips are sealed      A runaway   So tell me baby   What you're wantin' me to do   Givin' my love to you   Mama don't you know   Now you're livin' like a runaway   Sunday dawn you met a Gypsy woman   On a road to Tennessee   She told you a lot about the world to come   But did she tell you   Why you couldn't tell me   Like a runaway   How one by one you run away   Now tell me baby   What you want me to do   Givin' all my love to you   Mama don't you know      (chorus)      It's gonna be a hard leavin'   You're gonna need a strong reason   'Cause I ain't gonna start believin'   That you're out of my life   You bet you better do your fast talkin'   Before you do your last walkin'   It's gonna be a hard hard leavin' (talk to me)   Vox humana   I wanta feel the power of speech   Vox humana   Sounds so right so real to me   Vox humana   You gotta say   What you oughtta say   Don't try to run away   Darlin' I'm lettin' you know
