You've made this run some time before Breaking the curves like you knew for sure But we used to know, if you wanted me here Standing so close you make my fires tremble and my mind unclear Burning up the highway, sun's rising My horizons deepen with the blue Old southbound wind, it's makin' me colder And holding you closer I find your troubles aren't mine to lend Next of kin, do you have to rub it in I think I've had my fill of the river's restless flow
All in all, I could wait until the river is still And the ice is on the benches Another mad runner, have I used up all my chances When they listen to the rain splashes Grasping dry leaves through the open door Do you really want to see me here anymore It's a simple question I've learned my lesson now So please let me come in Close the curtains, let our love begin
