Running Boy

Lyrics for Running Boy

Even the tree shiver When the wind passes through Now I'm shivering too At the thought of you In my mind's eye you're like a flower, daffodil But I can't pick you, rather let you sit still Church bells and cooling choirs When I'm down low My father calls on a higher power Some lightening bolt At times, peace washed over me But I didn't understand Rather spend time with the vagabonds I'm the ragged one And ooh, where's the rest for my mind? Ooh, I'm closing my eyes Running boy, someday you might dance again Running boy, you almost lost your chance And the cops showed up, but I didn't get shot, I On the sidewalk with my mother pleading why Won't you tell them the truth? Packed up my bags Headed down to ocean side There's a warning sign Where the river and sea collide I can't trust the law They got quotas They nickel-and-dime Umm, a ticket for the truth, no fine for a lie And ooh, where's the rest for my mind? And ooh, I'm closing my eyes Running boy, some day you might dance again Running boy, you almost lost your chance And the cops showed up, but I didn't get shot, I On the sidewalk with my mother pleading why Won't you tell them the truth? Running boy, some day you might dance again Running boy, you almost lost your chance And the cops showed up, but I didn't get shot, I On the sidewalk with my mother pleading why Won't you tell them the truth?
