The Man Who Ran - The Tiny

I’m nothing like the pictures they had made

I won’t step on the stones that they have laid

I run and run and run and run

And on gravel roads and highway hills

Through the cities grinding traffic mills

I run and run and run into the sun

I chase the blinding thread that it has strung

The dog in the park

The fire and the spark

Will strain and strain and strain at their chain

The world is new the rules remain the same

What if gravity is just another trick of the mind

Hold on, hold on

If the trouble you see

Is nothing but imagniary tethers

Soon there are no more roads to run

This leash is even stronger spun

But I run and run and run and run and run

I’m holding every word I’ve ever sung

The frog in the lark

Its song in the dark

Will call and call and call behind the wall

Louder than they ever did before

What if gravity is just another trick of the mind?

Hold on, hold on

If the trouble you see is nothing but imaginary tethers

If what’s holding you down

Is nothing but your anguish to fall

How long how long will you dream of the leap

The dream about the bird of shining feathers

I’m nothing like the pictures they had made

I don’t step on the stones that they have laid

I run and run and run and run and run
