"I Keep Running" lyrics

"I Keep Running"

Look at all the trains in the railway yard
None of them go
And there's nothin in the house but shadows now and me in the window
Nothing's gonna move and how does a wish do anything but borrow?
Borrowin, stealin, how do my wishes go?

I'm faster than the pain that's runnin through my veins
And you can't break my heart if you don't know my name
I keep runnin

Moving in time with the clicking of the clock and the static on the radio
My hands move fast and her body moves slow
Light and shadows play and they move across her dress like a moon in the willows
Hands on her stomach, her head on the pillow
Pressing all her buttons like the numbers in a telephone

I'm faster than the pain that's runnin through my veins
And you can't break my heart if you don't know my name
I keep runnin

And clouds roll over the house
The sky is blue and grey
There ain't no reason why
But I think about those days
I keep running

I'm faster than the pain that's runnin through my veins
And you can't break my heart if you don't know my name
I keep runnin
I'm faster than the pain that's runnin through my veins
And you can't break my heart if you don't know my name
I keep runnin
I keep runnin
I keep runnin
