Nahko Bear - Runner lyrics

[Verse 1] I am a runner Running from nothing All things behind me And all good things ahead I am another kind of lover Follow them dragonflies and lead me to the Sunrise in the morning Tides in the evening [Chorus] Lay me down, yeah, lay me down And teach me one of them harder lessons Lay me down Yeah, lay me down And kiss me softly, kiss me softly And all of them places that you know me best Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh, yeah Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh, yeah [Verse 2] I can be loyal, return the honor And I'll put my family first But you must earn your keep This love has no strings No leash, no clipped wings Stronger than most things It is noble by nature I want no promises Just some logged hours [Chorus] Lay me down, oh lay me down And maybe an open mind will open mine Oh lay me down, lay me down Kiss me softly, kiss me softly And all of them places that you know me best [Bridge] Return, return, return To all them places that you learn Return, return, return All them places that you learn [Elision] Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh, yeah Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh, yeah Kiss me softly, kiss me softly And all of them places that you know me best Yeah Kiss me softly, kiss me softly And all of them places that you know me best Yeah [Outro] From the Waipio Valley Peakin' on Tetons Follow the Klamath To the basin of my soul Shinin' on shasta Those holy headwaters Dear old Columbia Your gorgeous sparkling eyes Creators callin', she's got my number Lay me down, lay me down And where be my outlaws? Well, rest in reason Lay me down, yeah lay me down Cause old things never die You know as well as I We will return, we will return
