Running Through the Night
Oh we're running through the night
Coat tails flying in the streetlight
Down the hill to catch the boat
To the other side
Oh we're running through the night
Always running out of time
My pillow is my old brown coat
We're two sea-rats on this swollen boat...
There's no time left to take
No more, as we go by the sun
And the stars feel like ours this morning
As we walk out the town
Picked up by a baker
On the skirts of pretty Nelson
He was almost home
He turned around, reminded of all of those
Who turned around
So I sat with his dog on my knee
And his baby beside me
While he told you about his wife
So much sadness in his eyes...
There's no time left to take
No more, as we go by the sun
And the stars feel like ours this morning
As we walk out the town
Now as I descend
And all the noise is in my head
You pull me through
'Cause I am rich when I'm with you -
When you're by my side...
Running through the night
Catching eyes in the moonlight
We've got all the things we need
All the things we'll ever need
