Lyrics for Running Back
I thought I'd give it up for good, 'Cause none of my actions are understood. I thought I'd really leave, And me coming back's something you'd never perceive. I thought I'd make it; Yes, I really thought I'd make it, But then you smiled, you didn't rile me, Now I'm running back Running, running back. I saw a vision of a love long deceased And a chilly wind coming from East. I know I can say I did my best, But there were no more warm winds from the West. Still I thought I'd make it; Yes, I really thought I'd make it, But then you smiled, you didn't rile me, Now I'm running back Running, running back. I thought you'd never be missed, And I really believed we'd never share another kiss. And I thought for the last time I'd touched your hand, But your love draws me back like quicksand. Still I thought I'd make it; Yes, I really thought I'd make it, But then you smiled, you didn't rile me, Now I'm running back Running, running back. I'm coming home.
