The Nagging Dark Songtext
von John Hiatt & The Goners

How fast you gonna run?
Away from this one
Anywhere but here
You wanna disappear
To the next daylight
Where everythings right
It′s always somewhere else
You're gonna fix yourself
Once shame and guilt
Have made their mark

[Chorus:]
You can′t run away from the nagging dark
Toy carry it everywhere in your heart
It finishes everything that you start
You can't run away from the nagging dark


How much it gonna cost?
When everything's lost
What a price you′d pay
Just to feel some way
′Cause you're heart is stone
Ground down to the bone
All your flesh and blood
Just ashes and mud
Feels like
Your soul′s been blown apart

[Chorus:]
You can't run away from the nagging dark
Toy carry it everywhere in your heart
It finishes everything that you start
You can′t run away from the nagging dark

How far can you see?
Will you even be free?
Through the blackest night
You still hold on tight

Hope is your finest work
It's your finest work
Hope is your finest work of art

[Chorus:]
You can′t run away from the nagging dark
Toy carry it everywhere in your heart
It finishes everything that you start
You can't run away from the nagging dark
