Lyrics
RUNNING / © 1976 Steve Cowan
From the One More Night Like This CD
Running south along the border, the winds have changed, are getting warmer
Still I have the greater part of
One full day in which to travel, while I try to just unravel
What it is that’s driving me from her
Crossing tracks of misconception, waiting for the next connection
Shadows from the station lantern
Tell me how I’m getting older, I wonder if the songs I sold her
Were enough to keep her in the past
Mountains on a stone horizon, something though to keep my eyes on
Distant and as pensive as the
Way I feel could never please her, running far would not appease her
But mountains are the safest place to be
Running out, like a candle flame
Soon to be extinguished in the wind
Running out, by another name
Soon to be relinquished in the end, in the end
Running through Nebraska woodland, ask him if he knows a good man
To calculate the risk in losing
What I never had to borrow, worried that I’d lose tomorrow
If I didn’t try to win today
Running circles round a center, I wonder if it’s time to enter
One more love to lead me into
Running may not have direction, but I can tell with one inspection
Whether it is toward you or away
Running out, like a candle flame
Soon to be extinguished in the wind
Running out, by another name
Soon to be relinquished in the end, in the end
Running south along the border, the winds have changed, are getting warmer
Still I have the greater part to live, still I have the greater part to live
Still I have the greater part to live, still I have the greater part to live
