Neil Comber - Distance Runner lyrics

I was sitting in carriage On my way to see a concert And I was looking out the window Through my reflection in the dirt And in a blur I saw factories Straight rows of trees A message on a wall to rival fans And then I thought of those departed And knowing that there is no heaven I thought no other ragged region Could ever make me smile and think of them If you wanted to suss me out And sum me up, you could Follow me down to a route by a brook Over the railway, under the barbed wire Along a pathway that's made of desire Singing songs that were too young to call new Look up above, see a lark sing the song That I know to be true Whatever I do Wherever I run The landscape remains And I guess I'm gonna Be a runner I'll run back and to Forever and ever I don't expect you'd understand So, as I exited the station I pulled my scarf over my nose And swiftly altered my direction Forgoing music, I heard melodies As the tarmac beneath Changed to faded lager cans Crisps bags and leaves Over the bushes and past the old dens I broke into a jog before jumping a fence Singing songs that were too young to call new Look up above see a lark sing the song That I know to be true Whatever I do Wherever I run The landscape remains And I guess I'm gonna Be a runner I'll run back and to Forever and ever I don't expect you'd understand I know that it's true Whatever I do Wherever I run The landscape remains And I guess I'm gonna Be a runner I'll run back and to Forever and ever I don't expect you'd understand How this could ever make me happy
