[Verse 1]
We keep on running but we can't get to the mountain
Behind the lie the years that i misspent
I've been sinking like a flower in a fountain
When all the love i'm gonna need is heaven sent
[Pre-Chorus]
And I've tried 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
[Chorus]
And I was told these dreams were paved with gold
There'd be no time for getting old when we were young
It's alright, if you dance with me tonight
We'll fight the dying of the light, we'll catch the sun
[Verse 2]
Woke up sleeping on a train that was bound for nowhere
Echoes that I could hear were all my own
The world had turned and i'd become a stranger
And I'm tired of watching all the flowers turn to stone
[Pre-Chorus]
Cuz I've tried 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 the cold that gets 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
[Chorus]
