Nowhere To Run
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.
Make no sail for a gift of the wind
Drive is slow and for this dream never ends
All my family and all my friends know there's nowhere to run
In the morning they head for the sun
Leave your shadows behind whatcha done
I have tried but I never have won
Because there's no where to run
Michael's rowing?
Where she's going?
What's she saying?
But that's right, yeah that's right
Don't starve old sailor long since been dead
Smoking his pipe and he's scratching his head
It's bad news but I heard what is said
He said there's no where to run
Michael's rowing?
Where she's going?
What's she saying?
But that's right, that's right
Make no sail for a gift of the wind
Drive is slow and for this dream never ends
All my family and all my friends know there's nowhere to run
