The summer waltzes off in pirouettes of fiery red
The whole world turns over our heads
Wish I could be the one who keeps the cold from coming on
But it gets colder every dawn
If we could walk so far we could save our hearts
If we could just get out then I could lay me on down
This city beckons me to recreate the perfect time
When your wanderlust met mine
There is nobody there to keep us dull and standing still
We will bend the stars to our will
If we could walk so far we could save our hearts
If we could just get out then I could lay me on down
And I want to see those parallel lines that never meet
Like our dreams all unbroken under our feet
And I want to see those city lights come over me
With you sleeping sound in the front seat
Run away, run away while the sun's down
Right away, right away get everything in the van
Gone away, gone away for the winter
Run away, run away we've got to run while we can
