You always had the gift of speed   You'd disappear without a trace   It all depended on the need   And on the pain you could not face      So you would leave the home you'd found   Pack it up without delay   Cut your losses, blow that town   And tomorrow was another day      All the years and all the miles   They lost track of time   I look back now only once in a while   My memory just wants to blur the lines   'Cause you know me, I just can't change      I greet the sun, and find it strange   To watch you run   For the shelter of storms   For the shelter of storms      Now where are you out in the world   Searching for a little grace   Searching for a precious pearl   Wisdom from some future place      You let me go without a wave   I noticed that and nothing more   I guess I'm going to my grave   Wondering what it all was for      All the years and all the miles   It's so hard keeping track of time   Do you think of me every once in a while   When the rain lets up and the sun can shine   Just a little peace and quiet for a change      I still greet the sun and find it strange   To watch you run   For the shelter of storms   For the shelter of storms      Go back the years, subtract the miles   And see what's left for you to find   All the battles, all the trials   You can't be free till you leave behind   Your bitter heart, but you can't change      You curse the sun, and pray for rain   And always run   For the shelter of storms   For the shelter of storms
