Verse 1
Here we go again dear. I’ve seen it all before
I know that I can’t hide forever behind these closed doors
I’ve looked to the future but the lights fading fast
Another war maybe over but I know it won’t last

Verse 2
The story books told me about love & revenge
But the pages are faded now. I never did read the end
& I heard about power & glory as well
But I’ve seen too many men fall through the fires of hell

Chorus
& I’ve run from the edge of an ocean & I’ve run from the edge of a storm
& I’ve run so fast, far away from the past. I’ve been runnin’ ever since you were born
& I’ve flown on the wings of an angel & I’ve flown on the wings of a dove
& I’ve run so fast from the fear of the past. But I can’t run away from your love

Verse 3
& I’ve been to the crossroads & I talked to the man
He never told me a god dam thing. Never sold me the plan
I was cold & I was hungry & he threw me a dime
& I could tell by the look in his eye I was wastin’ my time

Verse 4
So I’ve run round in circles. Never findin’ an end
So many times I laid down & cried out & then started again
& people will tell you so many different views
But you know that it won’t last forever, this life that we use
