lyrics

I've been runnin', runnin' farther than you know
To where the roughest winds think twice before they blow
I've been runnin, runnin' longer than you know
One day I'll quit runnin' on my own

I've been singin', singin old songs in the night
To fend off the ghosts that spread their loneliness and spite
I'll keep singin' till the morning sun'll rise
One day I will play a brand new tune

Love, share with me your kindness, fineness
Love, are you feeling frightened, enlightened, invited?

I've been hopin', hopin I won't hear you say
That you knew all along what I've been up to anyway
No I was prayin' I would never hear you say
That you know me better than I do

And I've been thinkin', wonderin' how I'll ever grow
Into someone I'd look up to when I'm old
I've been thinkin, wonderin' how I'll ever change
Into someone I would want to be

Love, share with me rightness, likeness
Love, are you just an island, a silent horizon?

I've been runnin', runnin farther than you know
To where the fires of hell feel threatened by the snow
I've been runnin' someplace I don't want to go
And now I think it's time to turn around
Now I think it's time to turn around.
