Tumbling curls of green by stained glass streaming light
And a yellow coloured lampshade-used to keep us up all night
And the smile upon your face, a tear upon your cheek
And the night sky on the window-your heart calling out to me

Come running home again Katie, come running home again
Cross my heart and hope to die, shall I cause another tear from your eye?

The mirror that wont talk and your nightgown on the door
The old pedal singer just don't sing no more
You can roll the reels for hours, from the movie from this book
It's a question mark on this heart of mine, sends an elder back to look

Come running home again Katie, come running home again
Cross my heart and hope to die, shall I cause another tear from your eye?

Now I'm looking through a tunnel back into the room
With the genius of a Druid, when the sunlight floods the tomb
And I'm never going back there, and I couldn't any way
'Cause though I made the great escape, I never got away
