I'm running away 
On a day like today 
Nothing you say 
Could cause me to stay 
Jackdaw (jackdaw) 
Leaving by your back door 
Should be gone by now 
Should be gone by now 
Should be gone by now 

Don't try to follow 
Just leave it alone 
The trains have all left now 
And the station is closed 
Jackdaw (jackdaw) 
Leaving by your back door 
Should be gone by now 
Should be gone by now 
Should be gone by now 

It's five in the morning 
And it's rainy and cold 
Just go back to sleep now 
And you won't see me go 
Jackdaw (jackdaw) 
Leaving by your back door 
Should be gone by now 
Should be gone by now 
Should be gone by now
