i thought i'd give it up for good,
'cause none of my actions are understood.
i thought i'd really leave,
and my 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.
and now i'm coming yes home.
i'm coming home |
