I keep on running but I can't get to the mountain
Behind me lie the years that I've misspent
And I've been sinking like a flower in the fountain
When all the love I'm gonna need is heaven sentGonna try my best to get there
But I can't afford the bus fare
And the storm that's rolling over
Man, it makes me wanna cryAnd I was told
The streets were paved with gold
And there'd be no time for getting old when we were young
It's alright, if you dance with me tonight
We'll fight the dying of the light
And we'll catch the sun
I woke up sleeping on a train that was bound for nowhere
The echoes that I could hear were all my own
The world had turned and I'd become a stranger
And I'm tired of watching all the flowers turn to stoneCause I've tried my best to get there
But I can't afford the bus fare
And the storm that's rolling over
Man, it makes me wanna cryAnd the cold against my shoulder
When it comes on the winter
And i seems to last forever
And it makes me wanna
It makes me wanna cry...The streets were paved with gold
And there'd be no time for gettin' old when we were young
It's alright, if you dance with me tonight
We'll fight the dying of the light and we'll catch the sun
Gonna try my best to get there
But I can't afford the bus fare
And the storm that's rolling over
Man, it makes me wanna cryAnd I was told
The streets were paved with gold
And there's be no time for getin' old when we were young
It's alright, if you dance with me tonight
We'll fight the dying of the light and we'll catch the sunAnd the cold against my shoulder...
When it comes on the winter
Man, it makes me wanna cry
And the cold against my shoulder...
And it seems to last forever
And it makes me wanna
It makes me wanna cry...(Mmm mmm, ooh oh, ooo oo)
