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 need is heaven sent
Gonna try my best to get there
But I can't afford the bus fare
The storm that's rolling over
Man, it makes me wanna cry
When I was told
The streets were paved with gold
And there'd be no time for getting old when we were young
It's alright, if you dance with me tonight
We'll fight the dying of the light and 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 & 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
The storm that's rolling over
Man, it makes me wanna cry
Feel the cold against my shoulder
When it comes on in the winter
And it seems to last forever
And it makes me wanna, makes me wanna cry
When I was told
The streets were paved with gold
And there'd be no time for getting old when we were young
It's alright, if you dance with me tonight
We'll fight the dying of the light and catch the sun
Gonna try my best to get there
But I can't afford the bus fare
The storm that's rolling over
Man, it makes me wanna cry
When I was told
The streets were paved with gold
And there'd be no time for getting old when we were young
It's alright, if you dance with me tonight
We'll fight the dying of the light and catch the sun
And the cold against my shoulder
When it comes on in the winter
Man, it makes me wanna cry
And the cold against my shoulder
And seems to last forever
And it makes me wanna cry
