One lifetime is long enough Is long enough to wait The rain like silver in my ears Fat nothing on my plate A bucketful of Babylon A belly full of hate Go to sleep my one true love And may your dreams be sweet
Then we'll be running
See its face beneath the glass It murmurs on the breeze Like a long black Cadillac It passes 'neath the trees What is it you're waiting for? Sweet love is on its knees Go to sleep my one true love And find your heart's release
Then we'll be running Afraid of nothing Yeah we'll be running
Silence is golden Here I am I ain't afraid of nothing Silence is golden Here I am
The sun above the cotton grass Is sinking down like lead The seagulls know the truth of it And scream it overhead Hold on to St. Christopher The sky is murderous red Go to sleep my one true love Our glory lies ahead
Then we'll be running Afraid of nothing Then we'll be running
All wired up in a dawning ray All wired up in a dawning ray All wired up in a dawning ray All wired up in a dawning ray
