Learning To Run

My love is like a falling star

Burning through the night out into the dark

I don’t need what you’re feeding me

But I drink from the cup till it runs empty

My mind is like a steam ship

That’s sailing on a water that just won’t quit

Your eyes they ain’t fooling me off into the dustbowl of misery

Love won’t save us anymore

It leads us through the cellar door

Where blood and bones of memory’s stored

To haunt us in the night and take us out by light

My heart beats like a tom drum

That’s played by a child while she’s learning to run

Your days keep filling up with lies

That lead you astray out into the night

I know what you’re thinking now

How can we keep this from tearing us down?

Well I’m gone before the sunrise

I’m sailing on the wind with no goodbye

I’m sailing on the wind with no goodbye

I’m sailing on the wind with no goodbye

Love won’t save us anymore

It leads us through the cellar door

Where blood and bones of memory’s stored

To haunt us in the night and take us out by light

My love is like a falling star

Burning through the night right into the dark
