1
Hot summer night, I was counting all the starlight on your skin
2
Airtight, as I watched you breathing out, I'm breathing in
3
By the lake, so humid that the moon was getting wet
4
For our sake the crickets started playing their castonets
5
Like a gypsy, you stole me from a child into a man
6
It never hit me: I've been running ever since I took a stand
7
FAnd this love like Spanish moss hangin from the trees
8
Just swaying in the breeze like a sweet memory
9
Running straight outta time, straight outta time (x2) Since you were mine
10
That autumn chI'll sent a shiver, girl, it shook us to the bone
11
And we stI'll had February frozen on the phone
12
Spring thaw, would it find us with our lips frozen blue?
13
Love calls, but do we really live the time we're running through?
14
Or like a dream, do we let it die and drift away to sleep
15
Until it screams like an echo in the history books you keep
16
'Cause that stream running from the corners of my mind
17
Looking back I find like a river it unwinds
18
Running straight outta time, straight outta time (x2)
19
Running straight outta time just like an old man's fiddle
20
Looking for the dance; gonna meet me in the middle
21
I'm never gonna figure out the way that I feel -
22
Running straight outta time,
23
but my love's stI'll real
24
Now I see you- you're looking pretty in your summer dress
25
I can almost feel you as you clutch your little locket to your breast
26
Looking down at the picture, girl, you know you're looking fine
27
Is it me? Was I ever in your heart or on your mind?
28
Cause I'm running outta time
29
I'm running straight outta time
30
Were you ever mine?
