I Ran Like Light Lyrics

Lost

Strange streets and stranger eyes

And the giants flying by

I'm wearing feet down to the bone

I'm spitting foam

I always thought I'd die at home

Until a stranger came my way

Until the sun broke through the grey

And the wind had died away

We ran like light

We ran like rain

Starved

Scum

But all that we could want

Alive

No skin stuck in the chain

Scraping the best from the bottom

We're born to chase the light

I feel the pull of the wild

But the Stranger falls behind

Starved

Scum

But all that we could want

Alive

No skin stuck in the chain

Set loose

We're free

The chill is not so deep

But is it all so bright and violent?

I sang a creaky song that day

To the stillness in your eyes

I try to howl

But it's not enough to drag you back to life

And I don't want you to go

I can't shake you awake

This shell has failed us both

So I ran like light

When you fell like rain

It wasn't long before they had me back in chains
