Tim Hardenstedt
Runaway Train
Blood it was running like rivers in me
You blew out the smoke from your mouth
The sun stood so high, it was dryin' up the rain
And the days went by faster than runaway trains
Evening shadows, how far they could reach
You brought the heat and the fire
Me, I was frozen like ice in the drain
And I was as lonesome as a runaway train
Fumes from the lilacs and traffic that passed
You told me I needed to grow
Before you outgrew me like wildflowers do
And I'd still be a child if it wasn't for you
Winter it came, you followed the birds
Turning your back on the snow
But me, I keep moving to wash off the stains
I don't know where I'm going, I'm a runaway train
