about

A song about grief, loss, love and death (but mostly love).
For mum and Sharon X
Special thanks to Betty for making the song magical.

lyrics

Well here we are, we got this far
Together we carried the load
Life dealt you blows, you took on the nose
Now we’re running out of road

There’s love and death in a single breath
And every star will explode
You were born on the floor, with the snow at the door
Now, you’re running out of road

Love is the prize when I look in your eyes
The future soon will be past
Our bonds grow strong, as the shadows grow long
We’re running out of road

Each step we take, we’re closer to fate
How the Winter wind blowed
You’re tired and you’re beat, you admit defeat
You’re running out of road
You’re running out of road

Love was the prize when I looked in your eyes
The future now is past
Our bonds grew strong, as the shadows grew long
We’re running out of road
