The Innocence Mission
Befriended
Tomorrow On The Runway
Edit by yappari
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.
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.
standing
in tomorrow
on the runway.
