Running Alone

歌詞

First appeared on Street Talk (Columbia Records 39334) 1984 Street Talk Tunes, John Bettis Music, Hitchings Music and Phosphene Music) (Steve Perry, John Bettis, Duane Hitchings, Craig Krampf) Looking down I watch the night Runnin' from the sun Orphan stars and city lights Fadin' one by one Oh sweet memories I call on you now Two too many hearts been broke Along this lonely road Steel grey eyes can shine the lies Until they look like gold Cold city sidewalks Can turn your heart to stone The street won't defeat me 'Cause I've got the will I'll survive I don't mind runnin' alone I believe that every soul Has a song to sing The spirit's locked in every man Waitin' for a wing Oh so much is wasted And oh so little used The trick of the dreamer Is keeping yourself From the blues And I don't mind runnin' Everyone's a hero If you want to be Everyone's a prisoner Holdin' their own key Every step I take Every move I make Always one step closer I don't mind runnin' alone Laughing children echo down The concrete alleyways Oh their voices callin', callin' Callin' yesterday (can Steve come out and play) Oh sweet memories Returning to me now When young eyes saw clearly Everyone's a hero If you want to be Everyone's a prisoner Holdin' their own key Every step I take And every move I make Always one step closer I don't mind runnin' alone
