Lyrics
Running
Words and Music, by Linda Cullum
Recorded 1992
For the first time in a long time I'm alone
or really really am I
It's the way you look at me it's carved in stone
and it makes me feel like
Running as fast as I can
to some far and distant land
I'm hearing all that I want
knowing it's only there to haunt me alone tonight
Like fire is to a can of gasoline
I'm a kid with matches ready to light up
The silence is so thick it's deafening
and it makes me feel like
Running as fast as I can
to some far and distant land
I'm hearing all that I want
knowing it's only there to haunt me alone tonight
Bridge (Instrumental)
Running as fast as I can
to some far and distant land
I'm hearing all that I want
knowing it's only there to haunt me alone tonight
