I keep on running but we can't get to the mountain.
Behind the lie the years that i misspent.
I've been sinking like a flower in the fountain.
When all the love i'm gonna need is heaven sent.
Gonna try my best to get there
but I can't afford the bus fare.
And the storm that's rolling over man,
It makes me want to cry.
And I was told the street
were paved with gold and there'd be no time.
For getting old when we were young.
But it's alright, if you dance with me tonight
we'll fight the dying of the light.
And we'll catch the sun.
I woke up sleeping on a train
that was bound for nowhere
The echoes that I could hear were all my own.
The world had turned and i'd become a stranger.
And I'm tired of watching all the flowers turn to stone.
