I keep on running
but I can't get to the mountain
behind lie the years
that I mis spent
and I've been sinking
like a flower in the fountain
when all the love
I'm gonna need is Heaven sent
Gonna try my best to get there
But I can't afford the bus fare
and the storm that's rolling over
man it makes me wanna cry
and I was told
the streets were paved with gold
and there'd be no time for getting old
when we were young
and it's allright
if you dance with me tonight
we'll fight the dying of the light
and we'll catch the sun
Woke up sleeping on a train
that was bound for no where
The echos that I could hear
were all my own
The world had turned
and 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
and 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
it makes me wanna cry
I was told
the streets were paved with gold
and there'd be no time
for getting old when we were young
and it's allright
if you dance with me tonight
we'll fight the dying of the light
and we'll catch the sun
Gonna try my best to get there
But I can't afford the bus fare
and 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
and it's allright
if you dance with me tonight
we'll fight the dying of the light
and we'll catch the sun
Feel the cold against my shoulder
when it comes on in the winter
man it makes me wanna cry
feel the cold against my shoulder
and it seems to last forever
and it makes me wanna
it makes me wanna cry
