Lyrics

(Hammill)

I thought I'd give it up for good
'Cause none of my actions are understood
I thought I'd really leave
And my coming back's something you'd never perceive
I thought I'd make it;
Yes, I really thought I'd make it
But then you smiled, you didn't rile me
Now I'm running back
Running, running back

I saw a vision of a love long deceased
And a chilly wind coming from east
I know I can say I did my best
But there were no more warm winds from the west
Still I thought I'd make it;
Yes, I really thought I'd make it
But then you smiled, you didn't rile me
Now I'm running back
Running, running back

I thought you'd never be missed
And I really believed we'd never share another kiss
And I thought for the last time I'd touched your hand
But your love draws me back like quicksand
Still I thought I'd make it;
Yes, I really thought I'd make it
But then you smiled, you didn't rile me
Now I'm running back
Running, running back

And now I'm coming yes home

I'm coming home
