I Just Can't Run Away (Arrow)

I Just Can’t Run Away

‘On the map you can hardly find it / But it’s always my paradise
And everyone who have seen it / Has always been hypnotised
But beneath the green of the mountain / A volcano has been sleeping
And now he is awaken / I don’t know what to do
What can I do?’

‘I just can’t run away / No, I just can’t run away
As long as St Johns got good shelter
I’ll be holding on.
I just can’t run away / No, me ain’t going nowhere
As long as Foxes Bay still down there
I’ll be holding on.’

‘Every time I feel the earth shaking / Like it’s doing its final dance
The smoke and the ash keep coming / But still I take my chance
Oh Montserrat or Alliouagana / Is this your farewell song?
But I’m still planting my banana / I’m still holding on.’
