From the recording Now & Again
A powerful, brooding, and climactic rock ballad which tells the story of escape from a troubled relationship. It's a slight departure from my typical, more upbeat, lyrical and musical themes.

Lyrics
Jodi closes her eyes and drifts back in time
Who could have known, he'd been so kind
Jodi waits for the train to take her where he can't break her
Things will never be the same
And she runs away
She's running from the he taunts her
The dreams that haunt her
And she runs away
She's praying for the pain to go...go away
One night he came home, wouldn't leave her alone
He raised his hand, she made her stand
Now Jodi runs through the rain and thunder, and she wonders
If things will ever be the same
And she runs away
She's running from the he taunts her
The dreams that haunt her
And she runs away
She's praying for the pain to go...go away
Jodi's pain is all in vain
He's the bottle's slave
She'll take it to her grave
Run Jodi, run!
