Fugitive - Indigo Girls

I’m harboring a fugitive, a defector of a kind

She lives in my soul drinks of my wine

And I’d give my last breath to keep us alive

Are they coming for us with cameras or guns?

We don’t know which but we gotta run

You say, «This is not what I bargained for»

So hide yourself for me

All for me

We swore to ourselves we’d go to the end of the world

But I got caught up in the whirl and the twirl of it all

A day in the Sun dancing alone

Baby, I’m so sorry now

Now it’s coming to you the lessons I’ve learned

Won’t do you any good;

you’ve got to get burned

The curse and the blessing they’re one in the same

Baby, it’s all such a treacherous gain

Hide yourself from me

I said hide yourself from me

All for me

I stood without clothes danced in the sand

I was aching with freedom kissing the damned

I said remember this as how it should be

Baby, I said it’s all in our hands

Got to learn to respect what we don’t understand

We are fortunate ones, fortunate ones, I swear

So hide yourself for me

I will hide myself for you

All for you

I stood without clothes danced in the sand

I was aching with freedom kissing the damned

I said remember this as how it should be
