Six o'clock in the mornin'
You're the first to hear the warnin'
You've been tryin' to throw your arms
Around the war
You've been noddin' off, can barely walk
Your lips move but you can't talk
Tryin' to throw your arms
Around the war

Gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Be still
Gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Sweetheart, I will

Blast gave you a nosebleed
Your head hurts and you can't breathe
You've been tryin' to throw your arms
Around the war
How far you gonna go
Before you lose your way back home
You've been tryin' to throw your arms
Around the war

Gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Princess, be still
Gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Sweetheart, I will

Yeah, I dreamed that I saw Vader
With a big ol' super-laser
He was tryin' to throw his arms around the war
He took an open-top cruiser
Through the middle of a 'nova
He was tryin' to throw his arms around the war

Gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Princess, be still
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Oh, sweetheart, I will

And you just gotta, you just gotta keep the Force faith

Nothin' much to say I guess
Just the same as all the rest
Been tryin' to throw your arms
Around the war
And a woman needs a man
Like Hoth needs an icicle
When you're tryin' to throw your arms
Around the war

I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Princess, be still
Sweetheart, be still
Be still
Princess, be still
Leia, I will
