| I never knew how empty
|
| How alone, how cold, how slow
|
| Ticket on a one-track railroad to a solo seat below
|
| If you need a place to lay your head, and gentle company
|
| I’ll save a seat beside me
|
| You can come running to me, girl
|
| You can come running to me
|
| I can build a shelter to keep you from the cold
|
| And I can shoot the wolf at night, watch you as you grow
|
| At home fires are a-burning, our babies on your knee
|
| Whispered kisses on your mouth
|
| You can come running to me, boy
|
| You can come running to me
|
| Come running to you, come running to you
|
| When it’s all through, I’ll come running to you
|
| Come running to you, come running to you
|
| When it’s all through, I’ll come running to you
|
| I spent most of my whole life with a bucket and a spade
|
| One to carry things I love, one to bury the things I hate
|
| You won’t have to dig that hole, an empty heart is free
|
| Clear to make a brand new start
|
| You can come running to me, girl
|
| You can come running to me
|
| Come running to you, come running to you
|
| When it’s all through, I’ll come running to you
|
| Come running to you, come running to you
|
| When it’s all through, I’ll come running to you |
