Tumbling curls of green by stained-glass streaming light
And a yellow-coloured lampshade used to keep us up all night
And a smile upon your face, a tear upon your cheek
And the night sky on the window, your heart calling out to me
Chorus
Come running home again Katie, come running home again
Cross my heart and hope to die if I cause another tear in your eye
( Katie )
The mirror that wont talk and your nightgown on the door
And the old pedal Singer, just don't sing no more
You can roll the reels for hours from the movie of this book
It's a question mark on this heart of mine
sends an elder back to look
Chorus
Now I'm looking from a tunnel, back into the room
With the genius of a druid when the sunlight found the tomb
And I'm never going back there and I couldn't anyway
Cos though I made the great escape, I never got away
Chorus
