Old days, don't come to find me
The sun is just about to climb up over there
While my heart is sinking I do not want my voice
To go out into the air
Did you leave the darkness without me?
You're always miles ahead
And you're standing in tomorrow on the runway
Oh, be the music in my head
The air around my bed
Oh, be my rest
Replace the small disgraces of the times and places
That I never really left
Did you leave the darkness without me?
You're always miles ahead
And you're standing in tomorrow on the runway
Oh, I want to fly, fly forward into the light
Be alive, to come alive
On the leaf-bright Friday drive
Sudden horses at the red light
Turn around, see clearer ways to go now
The sun is just about to climb up over there
While my heart is sinking I do not want my voice
To go out into the air
Did you leave the darkness without me?
You're always miles ahead
And you're standing in tomorrow on the runway
Oh, be the music in my head
The air around my bed
Oh, be my rest
Replace the small disgraces of the times and places
That I never really left
Did you leave the darkness without me?
You're always miles ahead
And you're standing in tomorrow on the runway
Oh, I want to fly, fly forward into the light
Be alive, to come alive
On the leaf-bright Friday drive
Sudden horses at the red light
Turn around, see clearer ways to go now
