Run Lyrics

[Chorus]
Rare is this love, keep it covered
I need you to run to me, run to me, lover
Run until you feel your lungs bleeding
Rare is this love, keep it covered
I need you to run to me, run to me, lover
Run until you feel your lungs bleeding
Rare is this love, keep it covered
I need you to run to me, run to me, lover
Run until you feel your lungs bleeding
Rare is this love, keep it covered
I need you to run to me, run to me, lover
Run until you feel your lungs bleeding

Hozier, in Birmingham at The Institute on 23/01/15:

[James Joyce] famously had a quote about Ireland in which he lovingly said […] that Ireland is the sow that eats its farrow. And so it’s the pig that eats her young, which I think he meant that in a loving way, but this next song is kind of about that, I suppose.”
