Song Lyrics

Old friend, you were like the winter
You'd freeze and you'd melt and you'd urge me to shelter
I'd dress myself different somehow
Days you were around

And nights with you here, they were longer
And dark it hung 'round like a tree full of crows
And changed all the shadows I'd throw
The world barely saw me

It's a long road we're walkin'
Try to learn, try to soften
And darkness comes often
No reason to cry out your eyes

Something blew out last December
Alone in that airport, the crowd or the weather
Whatever it was, I was changed
And I abandoned you there

It's a long road we're walkin'
Try to learn, try to soften
And daylight comes often
No reason to cry out your eyes

You get up, you get down
You get lost, you get found
You can run from deep water and still end up drowned
You get up, you get down
You get lost, you get found
You can run, run, run, run, run, run, run

Now you may build castles on mountains
Dance with rare beauties on lips of gold fountains
Whoever you hold you should know
I care less every day

'Cause someone will treat me much better
Soon I will float 'round this town like a feather
And friends when they see me will say
Now don't she look well

It's a long road we're walkin'
Try to learn, try to soften
And daylight comes often
No reason to cry out your eyes

You get up, you get down
You get lost, you get found
You can run from deep water and still end up drowned
You get up, you get down
You get lost, you get found
You can run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

You get up, you get down
You get lost, you get found
You can run from deep water and still end up drowned
You get up, you get down
You get lost, you get found
You can run, run, run, run, run, run, run
