I keep on running but I can't get to the mountain Behind me lie the years that I mis-spent And I've been sitting 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 wanna cry
When I was told The streets were paved with gold And it be known time is getting on when we were young It's alright, if you dance with me tonight We'll fight the dying of the light and we'll catch the sun
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 Got tired of watching all the flowers turn to stone
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 wanna cry
Feel the cold against my shoulder When it comes on the winter And it seems to last forever And it makes me wanna, makes me wanna cry
