Let me, Irene

Let me, Irene
Irene, I ran to you
You never ran to me
Since then I don't know where you've been

Irene
Irene, I ran from you
You never ran from me
Since then you don't know where I've been

You didn't say goodbye,
But neither did I

Irene
Let me, Irene
Rent the room you left
Brown the walls became
They had been blue
I had been blue
For you they were brown

I ran, Irene
Let me, Irene
Let me,
Let me run

i have something to say.

Hey you,
you're just a child,
yet somehow you still
drive me wild.
I can't explain it,
it makes no sense.
I don't think you
understood what it meant.
Time goes by,
you're still a kid.
I grew wiser but I
still can't get rid (of you).
Wish I could say
you'd grown up,
or that I had, too--

The child played the wiser girl;
she still is being used.
