Mer Girl Lyrics - Ray Of Light - Madonna

I ran from my house that cannot contain me 

From the man that I cannot keep 

From my mother who haunts me, even though she's gone 

From my daughter that never sleeps 

I ran from the noise and the silence 

From the traffic on the streets 

I ran to the treetops, I ran to the sky 

Out to the lake, into the rain that matted my hair 

And soaked my shoes and skin 

Hid my tears, hid my fears 

I ran to the forest, I ran to the trees 

I ran and I ran, I was looking for me 

I ran past the churches and the crooked old mailbox 

Past the apple orchards and the lady that never talks 

Up into the hills, I ran to the cemetery 

And held my breath, and thought about your death

I ran to the lake, up into the hills 

I ran and I ran, I'm looking there still 

And I saw the crumbling tombstones 

All forgotten names 

I tasted the rain, I tasted my tears 

I cursed the angels, I tasted my fears 

And the ground gave way beneath my feet 

And the earth took me in her arms 

Leaves covered my face 

Ants marched across my back 

Black sky opened up, blinding me 

I ran to the forest, I ran to the trees 

I ran and I ran, I was looking for me 

I ran to the lakes and up to the hill 

I ran and I ran, I'm looking there still 

Photos 

And I smelled her burning flesh 

Her rotting bones 

Her decay 

I ran and I ran 

I'm still running away
