Lyrics
I dreamed that I might run off all your sorrows And trade old yesterdays for new tomorrows But you could never bring yourself to borrow A friend for when your colors all turn grey
I found you holding court at Central Station
For the boys who prove their love through slow starvation I just skipped that strange initiation
And hoped you would see me walk away
Adeline
What's the sense in runnin from All the things you've said and done in your lifetime
Adeline
So much you can't ever know Turn around and let it go away hey hey hey
The ships off of the beach are slowly sinking while the sailors you once loved are busy drinking But you won't show a sign of what your thinking Laughin while your pour heart breaks in two
Adeline
What's the sense in runnin from
All the pain and damage done in your lifetime Adeline
Stayin here won't make it right
Could you just give up the fight today? Hey hey hey
Adeline
There ain't no sense in runnin from
All the pain and damage done in your lifetime Adeline
All those years of holdin on
Maybe there's another song to play
