Runaway Train Lyrics by Sandi Thom

Merchants & Thieves (Deluxe Edition)

0

I am a runaway train
I am the thunder burning black
Like a runaway train
I’m flying of the tracks
Now I’ve left you baby
I ain’t never coming back
So you tried and you tried ye
But you can’t ever hold me down
Well you tried and you tried baby
To keep my feet on the ground
I had to break down these walls
Oh cause I’m tired of waiting to be found
So I’ll keep rolling
Until the fires lets me be
I’ll keep rolling
Until I reach the darkest sea
I’ll keep hurting
Until your miles away from me
You can’t shake me on down baby
No I’m too far along the line
You can’t shake me on down baby
I’m too far along the line
I’m just a whisper in your head now
I’m forever in your mind
So I’ll keep rolling
Until the fires lets me be
I’ll keep rolling
Until I reach the darkest sea
I’ll keep hurting
Until your miles away from me
I am a runaway train
I am a runaway train
I am a runaway train
I am a runaway train
And I’ll keep rolling
I’ll keep rolling ye
I’ll keep rolling
I’ll keep rolling
I’ll keep rolling, rolling
I’ll keep rolling, rolling
Like a runaway train
I am the thunder burning black
Like a runaway train
You’ll never see me coming back
You’ll never slow me down baby
You’ll never keep me from the tracks
You’ll never slow me down baby
You know I’m never coming back
I’ll keep rolling, rolling
I’ll keep rolling, rolling…
