Afraid of Love

I'm heading out to where the people can't pronounce my name.
So say it loud, babe. Say it loud, babe.
The sun is out and shining but the air is tasting grey.
So shut your door, babe. Shut your door, babe.

Now she's walking without shoes
And then she kneels on down to pray.
And you're trying hard to remind her
So she doesn't slip away.

And over there you are safe in your haven.
Over there you are meant to be.
And all along you were wrong
But it was too late you were gone.
Moving on afraid of love.

Now it's pretty hard not to notice
When she upped and ran away.
She was 17 and I think holding
And above all was afraid that she may wake.
