You always had the gift of speed You'd disappear without a trace It all depended on the need And on the pain you could not face
So you would leave the home you'd found Pack it up without delay Cut your losses, blow that town And tomorrow was another day
All the years and all the miles They lost track of time I look back now only once in a while My memory just wants to blur the lines 'Cause you know me, I just can't change
I greet the sun, and find it strange To watch you run For the shelter of storms For the shelter of storms
Now where are you out in the world Searching for a little grace Searching for a precious pearl Wisdom from some future place
You let me go without a wave I noticed that and nothing more I guess I'm going to my grave Wondering what it all was for
All the years and all the miles It's so hard keeping track of time Do you think of me every once in a while When the rain lets up and the sun can shine Just a little peace and quiet for a change
I still greet the sun and find it strange To watch you run For the shelter of storms For the shelter of storms
Go back the years, subtract the miles And see what's left for you to find All the battles, all the trials You can't be free till you leave behind Your bitter heart, but you can't change
You curse the sun, and pray for rain And always run For the shelter of storms For the shelter of storms
