Hurry Boy
 

Written & Sung: T. Snow; Backup Vocal: S. Nicks

Hurry boy, you must save yourself You've got to leave this town tonight 'Cause there's someone here who's gonna take you down She's gonna run your life Don't you turn around when you leave this town You've got only one chance Or you'll get caught up like the others In this web of circumstance In the town where I was born There was a lady Some called her crazy But I think she's alright She took me in one night And was so gentle Well, somehow I felt She'd been waiting for me She spoke of love and war and sons and daughters I drank some water and I fell into a dream And in the dream I saw what lay before me A young girl crying in a lonely churchyard scene And as I lay there half asleep recalling I heard this voice come calling To me, to me To me, to me And, you know, it said Hurry boy, you must save yourself You've got to leave this town tonight 'Cause there's someone here who's gonna take you down She's gonna run your life Don't you turn around when you leave this town You've got only one chance Or you'll get caught up like the others In her web of circumstance Keep on running Keep on running I was confused and felt my senses falling She did not tell me why when she broke the spell And in the back of my mind I heard that lonely warning It said keep on running, don't stop running Keep on running away Stumbling out into the misty morning I couldn't help myself from looking back And it was then I saw her for the first time Laughing and crying, oh, living and dying And then I thought I heard that voice again And she said Hurry boy, you must save yourself You've got to leave this town tonight 'Cause there's someone here who's gonna take you down She's gonna run your life Don't you turn around when you leave this town You've got only one chance Or you'll get caught up like the others In her web of circumstance Keep on running Hurry boy, hurry boy Hurry boy, hurry boy Hurry boy, hurry boy Hurry boy, hurry boy Hurry boy, hurry boy

 


WEBMISTRESS speculates:

What this song lacks musically (it does tend to drag a bit) it makes up with its poetic lyrics. He definitely has a way with words.
