Still Running

WERE YOU HOLDING OUT FOR MORNING?

FOR SUNLIGHT ON YOUR FACE?

FOR THE WALLS THAT CLOSED AROUND

TO TURN INTO WIDE OPEN SPACE, WIDE OPEN SPACE?

DID YOU LEAVE WITHOUT A WARNING?

YOUR BLUE EYES PAINTED BLACK?

DID A SWARM OF ANGELS RIP YOUR WINGS

SO THERE’S NO GOING BACK?

HEY DARLING

HOW YOU GONNA STOP THE WHEELS TURNING?

ARE YOU ALWAYS GONNA BE RUNNING?

TIME WON’T BRING YOU DOWN

SO TIME WON’T BREAK YOU DOWN

DID YOU THINK THAT WORDS UNSPOKEN

HAVE MORE HONOUR THAN GOODBYE?

LIKE A PAPER LANTERN, LOST AT SEA

DID THE FLAME AROUND US DIE?

OH DARLING

HOW YOU GONNA STOP THE WHEELS TURNING?

ARE YOU ALWAYS GONNA BE RUNNING?

TIME WON’T BRING YOU DOWN

SO TIME WON’T BREAK YOU DOWN

HOW ARE YOU GONNA FEEL WHEN YOU TRY TO SLOW DOWN

BUT YOU’RE STILL RUNNING?

NO-ONE STOPPED THE WHEELS, THE SUN HAS GONE

AND NOW THE COLD’S COMING

TIME WON’T BRING YOU DOWN

NO, TIME WON’T BREAK YOU DOWN
