On your birthday I was afraid that he'd run away.
Leave us with no money to buy candles and cake for you.
I was so afraid. I was so afraid.

In November, he built a fence in pouring down rain.
That night in darkness we ran away in pouring down rain.
Oh, oh we were so afraid.
We were so afraid.
Oh, oh oh oh.

We ran far to Boston we went to live next to the trains.
We could never fall deep asleep but I still felt safe
When I had your heart beat, fighting bad dreams.
Two more years until we can go home.
Oh, I was so afraid. I was so afraid.
