Ellie Run from True North by Nick Barnes

Short was time and pulled was the plan
Dark was night and cold was the sand

Run, Ellie, run -- take the bottle, take the bottle
Run, Ellie, run -- any road you know the way to
Come, Ellie, come -- any road you go
I'm there, you know about it
Reckon sundown, I reckon sundown will bring out their best
Think they're holed up down by the river
But we're five towns up and lit
Come, Ellie, come

Sometimes in June, she would linger by the lake at night
In just the ghost of a moon
And she would move, she would move like light
And in the husk of my room, I would lie, I would lie
I would let her move through me
Like a chill at night, a chill at night
The runes that you made, honey
Never left my pane, never left my pane

Run, Ellie, run -- take the Bible, take their Bibles
Run, Ellie, run -- any road you know the way to
Come, Ellie, come -- any road you go
I ain't forgettin', honey
Reckon sundown, I reckon sundown will bring out the rest
I think we're holed up here, here, I think we're five towns clear
Run, Ellie, run
