The Days Run Away - TJ Carter

An original song written and recorded by me, TJ Carter, recorded 11-12-11. Check it out!

Lyrics:
See that pendulum swinging
Hear those waves crashing
Listen to the sound waves bounce off the walls
Where do they go when you can't hear them anymore

We're like ripples in the water
We disperse into nothing
Entropy and sadness
It all returns to blackness
In the vacuum of space s
You're wondering where your head is

The days run away
Like dreams in the morning
Like wild horses
And rain in the summer
And pictures of lovers
Scattered on the floor
In the attics in your mind
Running through your head
Like a slideshow
Wondering where it went
You are so worried bout the time
Slipping through your hands
Like grains of sand
Running down the hourglass
You can't believe how much has passed
Still looking for somebody's hand
To hold on to

The days run away darling
The days run away darling
The days run away
There's nothing you can do or say
To keep those days from running away

See those cars on the street
They pass by like ants that run on gasoline
Where'd they run off to?
Where'd they go?
Well you know there's only so many miles they can run

Well we've come a long way in what little time we've had
But sometimes you wonder if we're going back
People looking stranger
Their faces are getting blanker
And all the time you're wondering
Is it adding up to something
We're like strangers on a train who make eye contact and then
Break away

The days run away
Like dreams in the morning
Like wild horses
And rain in the summer
And pictures of lovers
Scattered on the floor
In the attics in your mind
Running through your head
Like a slideshow
Wondering where it went
You are so worried bout the time
Slipping through your hands
Like grains of sand
Running down the hourglass
You can't believe how much has passed
Still looking for somebody's hand
To hold on to

The days run away darling
The days run away darling
The days run away
There's nothing you can do or say
To keep those days from running away
