straight outta time |
|
Hot
summer night, I was counting all the starlight on your skin |
Airtight,
as I watched you breathing out, I'm breathing in |
By
the lake, so humid that the moon was getting wet |
For
our sake the crickets started playing their castonets |
Like
a gypsy, you stole me from a child into a man |
It
never hit me: I've been running ever since I took a stand |
FAnd
this love like Spanish moss hangin from the trees |
Just
swaying in the breeze like a sweet memory |
|
Running
straight outta time, straight outta time (x2)Since you were mine |
|
That
autumn chI'll sent a shiver, girl, it shook us to the bone |
And
we stI'll had February frozen on the phone |
Spring
thaw, would it find us with our lips frozen blue? |
Love
calls, but do we really live the time we're running through? |
Or
like a dream, do we let it die and drift away to sleep |
Until
it screams like an echo in the history books you keep |
'Cause
that stream running from the corners of my mind |
Looking
back I find like a river it unwinds |
Running
straight outta time, straight outta time (x2) |
|
Running
straight outta time just like an old man's fiddle |
Looking
for the dance; gonna meet me in the middle |
I'm
never gonna figure out the way that I feel - |
Running
straight outta time, |
but
my love's stI'll real |
|
Now
I see you- you're looking pretty in your summer dress |
I
can almost feel you as you clutch your little locket to your breast |
Looking
down at the picture, girl, you know you're looking fine |
Is
it me? Was I ever in your heart or on your mind? |
Cause
I'm running outta time |
I'm
running straight outta time |
Were
you ever mine? |
