Lyrics
Silent Running
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.
God only knows this isn't heaven.
The promises made, we never keep them.
CHORUS:
We're walking on air, we're taking our time.
But God only knows this isn't reason or rhyme.
I've had this feeling I don't believe in.
It's happened before, I just reject it.
REPEAT CHORUS
These are the feelings, I know their outcome.
It's useless pretending, I'd like to beat them.
REPEAT CHORUS
We're walking on air, we're taking our time, this time.
But God only knows, this isn't reason or rhyme.
We're walking on air...
