Against The Wind
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It seemed like yesterday
But it was so long ago, long ago
Jimmy was lovely, was the king of my nights
And the darkness with the radio playing low
The secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Caught like wildfire
Against the wind
We were running against the wind
We were running against the wind
The years rolled out, I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers, I thought were my friends
It took all I own
Found myself running from my home
Guess I lost my way
Oh therе were so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Against thе wind
Against the wind
We were young and strong
And always on the run
Against the wind
Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all the rules that would bend
I found myself searching for shelter again
Against the wind
Against the wind
And we were running again and again
And we're young and strong
I'm a little older now, but I'm still running
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
We're young and strong
Again, against the wind
