The Divine Comedy A Desperate Man song lyrics

I made a daring escape in the guise of a nun

It took them most of the day to realise I was gone

I crossed the forests and fields of wheat

A farmer's daughter gave me something to eat

I stole a paper just to see

A picture of me. I'm a desperate man

I gotta keep on running

I gotta do what I can

To get back to you

I made the overnight ferry by the skin of my teeth

I feel asleep between the truckers sprawled across the seats

I see your face everywhere I go

In every café & watering hole

What is this hold you've got on me, baby?

I'm a desperate man

I gotta keep on running

I gotta do what I can

To get back to you

I'm a desperate man

I gotta keep on running

Running back to you

Nobody else will do
