Song | Straight Outta Time |
Artist | John Hiatt |
Album | Live From Austin TX |
作词 : Hiatt | |
Hot summer night, i was counting all the starlight on your skin | |
Airtight, as i watched you breathing out, i'm breathing in | |
By the lake, so humid that the moon was getting wet | |
For our sake the crickets started playing their castonets | |
Like a gypsy, you stole me from a child into a man | |
It never hit me: i've been running ever since i took a stand | |
Fand this love like spanish moss hangin from the trees | |
Just swaying in the breeze like a sweet memory | |
Running straight outta time, straight outta time (x2) since you were mine | |
That autumn chi'll sent a shiver, girl, it shook us to the bone | |
And we sti'll had february frozen on the phone | |
Spring thaw, would it find us with our lips frozen blue? | |
Love calls, but do we really live the time we're running through? | |
Or like a dream, do we let it die and drift away to sleep | |
Until it screams like an echo in the history books you keep | |
'cause that stream running from the corners of my mind | |
Looking back i find like a river it unwinds | |
Running straight outta time, straight outta time (x2) | |
Running straight outta time just like an old man's fiddle | |
Looking for the dance; gonna meet me in the middle | |
I'm never gonna figure out the way that i feel - | |
Running straight outta time, | |
But my love's sti'll real | |
Now i see you- you're looking pretty in your summer dress | |
I can almost feel you as you clutch your little locket to your breast | |
Looking down at the picture, girl, you know you're looking fine | |
Is it me? was i ever in your heart or on your mind? | |
Cause i'm running outta time | |
I'm running straight outta time | |
Were you ever mine? |
