The Raccoons lyrics

Oh yes, sing along to your heart's content... it's the "Run With Us" theme tune lyrics!

Verse 1:
When darkness falls
Leaving shadows in the night
Don't be afraid
Wipe that fear from your eyes

The desperate love
Keeps on driving you wrong
Don't be afraid
You're not alone

Chorus:
You can run with us
We've got everything you need
Run with us
We are free

Co-co-co-come with us
I see passion in your eyes
Run with us

Verse 2:
When the cold wind blows
Turn your collar to the cold
Don't be ashamed
If you need someone to hold

If you're sinking in quicksand (quicksand... quicksand...)
And its dragging you down
And you feel you're going under
We'll be around

<< Chorus >>

Verse 3:
When you're behind closed doors
All alone by yourself
And you're longing inside
To be somebody else

You pick up the telephone
And theres no one on the line
Don't be afraid
Cos there's still time

<< Chorus x2>>
