Yesterday I was so blue, lord I felt like dying And the rain came down so beautiful. I felt like crying So I drove down to the river just to see it flowing And I swear to god, as I watched it looked like it was running Like it was running from something Running from something Running, running, running Yesterday I scratched at the blue just to see what was hurting And under the blood and the tears Well it seems I found something worth learning But you know it strikes me kind of funny that it's you Teaching the lesson 'Cos in those big brown eyes You know I see the same fear That self-same wandering You look like you're running from something Running from something Running, running, running I know you're running from something Running from something Running, running, running Oh why you gotta be so mean? I just want to warm your lonely nights but you leave me cold Oh why you gotta be so reckless? Playing with my heart Oh darling you leave me low So low Yesterday I was so blue, lord I felt like dying And the rain came down so beautiful. I felt like crying So I drove down to the river just to see it flowing And I swear to god As I watched it washed all my running It cleaned me of my running from something Running from something Running, running, running Running from something Running from something Running, running, running Running, running, running Running, running, running
