lyrics

One day the north wind caught under my soul
And from then on it strove to have me run and keep me alone
I know I really can’t blame it on the wind, but other than that I don’t know how to begin

I’m tired of running away, at the end of every damned day
Please, don’t be afraid, I’ll manage to just stay

And so my flights have led me to this cliff edge you see
Wondering if I could survive the fall and throw myself off to be free
There’s plenty of roads I could go next, so much time and so little rest

I’m tired of running away, at the end of every damned day
Please, don’t be afraid, I’ll manage to just stay

Cause somehow in the cadence of your voice
I find the strength to pause
And heaven hold me I don’t run but rejoice
In something small, so small you saw
And all my blood and bones may break, and the stars fall down on me
Doesn’t matter how my heart might shake, you’re worth the trouble to me

No more running away
At the end of these tired days
Please just have some faith
That I am here to stay
