lyrics

I was just a wonderer insane
Dredging along the bottoms of the rivers and the lakes
Trying to find a place to stake my claim
Striking poor while others found their fame

I was just adrift amongst the bones
Sinking with the ashes of my wasted friends alone
Trying to put my feet on something strong
Taking one last try till I touch that steady stone

And I run the longest race
And I call your name
And I climb the highest way
And I call your name

I’ve run out of games, I’ve run out of lies to tell
Waiting for the moment when someone rings the closing bell
Ending up blue wrapped up inside a shell
Taking to the road, nothing but nothing but myself to sell

And I run the longest race
And I call your name
And I climb the highest way
And I call your name

I was just a blaze, I was just a wrecking ball
Living like a slave pounding on these prison walls
Windows in time, take me to, take me, take me to the one I love
I’m so tired of searching, standing, shivering alone in the cold and rain

And I run the longest race
And I call your name
And I climb the highest way
And I call your name
