lyrics

Way down south in the fields of Avalon I fell for a travelling girl
We had one long glorious Indian summer and then came the end of the world
She left in a violent temper, there was thunder and lightning all night
And I can still hear every step on the stairs and the click of the light

Oh Bonnie let's have an adventure
Let's run to the hills for a while
I'll bring the money and you can bring the style
Oh Bonnie it's just you and me now
And maybe that's how it should be
Love only works if you can set each other free
Oh Bonnie

Way out west in a Bristolian underpass I was put under a spell
She took my money and my clothes and my dignity and then stole my heart as well
When I awoke in the morning, not a stitch or a penny to my name
How many times have I said that I'm too old for this game

Oh Bonnie let's have an adventure
Let's run to the hills for a while
I'll bring the money and you can bring the style
Oh Bonnie it's just you and me now
And maybe that's how it should be
Love only works if you can set each other free
Oh Bonnie

Sometimes I wonder what happened to everyone I used to know
All shacked up with gardens and children
Some of us just let it all go
I am the spirit of freedom
I am wherever I've been
I am the sound of the wind and the engine
I'm whatever the cat dragged in

Oh Bonnie let's have an adventure
Let's run to the hills for a while
I'll bring the money and you can bring the style
Oh Bonnie it's just you and me now
And maybe that's how it should be
Love only works if you can set each other free
Oh Bonnie
