Lyrics

[00:22.93] I thought I'd give it up for good,
[00:27.60] 'cause none of my actions are understood.
[00:35.33] I thought I'd really leave,
[00:43.93] and my coming back's something you'd never perceive.
[00:54.19] I thought I'd make it;
[00:59.44] Yes, I really thought I'd make it,
[01:04.16] but then you smiled, you didn't rile me,
[01:15.18] now I'm running back
[01:18.39] running, running back.
[01:26.71] I saw a vision of a love long deceased
[01:31.50] and a chilly wind coming from East.
[01:40.52] I know I can say I did my best,
[01:47.80] but there were no more warm winds from the West.
[01:58.29] Still I thought I'd make it;
[02:03.16] Yes, I really thought I'd make it,
[02:07.94] but then you smiled, you didn't rile me,
[02:19.38] now I'm running back
[02:21.96] running, running back.
[04:47.21] I thought you'd never be missed,
[04:51.40] and I really believed we'd never share another kiss.
[04:59.93] And I thought for the last time I'd touched your hand,
[05:07.90] but your love draws me back like quicksand.
[05:17.44] Still I thought I'd make it;
[05:22.58] Yes, I really thought I'd make it,
[05:27.47] but then you smiled, you didn't rile me,
[05:38.68] now I'm running back
[05:41.39] running, running back.
[06:02.20] And now I'm coming yes home.
[06:13.38] I'm coming home.
