Van Der Graaf Generator – Running Back lyrics
I thought I'd give it up for good,
'cause none of my actions are understood.
I thought I'd really leave,
And my coming back's something you'd never perceive.
I thought I'd make it;
Yes, I really thought I'd make it,
But then you smiled, you didn't rile
Me,
Now I'm running back
Running, running back.
I saw a vision of a love long deceased
And a chilly wind coming from East.
I know I can say I did my best,
But there were no more warm winds from the West.
Still I thought I'd make it;
Yes, I really tho
Ught I'd make it,
But then you smiled, you didn't rile me,
Now I'm running back
Running, running back.
I thought you'd never be missed,
And I really believed we'd never share another kiss.
And I thought for the last time I'd touched your hand,
But your love draws me back like quicksand.
Still I thought I'd make it;
Yes, I really thought I'd make it,
But then you smiled, you didn't rile me,
Now I'm running back
Running, running back.
And now I'm coming yes home.
I'm coming home.
'cause none of my actions are understood.
I thought I'd really leave,
And my coming back's something you'd never perceive.
I thought I'd make it;
Yes, I really thought I'd make it,
But then you smiled, you didn't rile
Me,
Now I'm running back
Running, running back.
I saw a vision of a love long deceased
And a chilly wind coming from East.
I know I can say I did my best,
But there were no more warm winds from the West.
Still I thought I'd make it;
Yes, I really tho
Ught I'd make it,
But then you smiled, you didn't rile me,
Now I'm running back
Running, running back.
I thought you'd never be missed,
And I really believed we'd never share another kiss.
And I thought for the last time I'd touched your hand,
But your love draws me back like quicksand.
Still I thought I'd make it;
Yes, I really thought I'd make it,
But then you smiled, you didn't rile me,
Now I'm running back
Running, running back.
And now I'm coming yes home.
I'm coming home.
