Boy On the Run

[Verse 1]
He was running like a native across the creek
Singing in the field in the wind in the sun
There he goes racing down the street
Just like a boy on the run

[Verse 2]
He takes a stone and throws it in the water
And watches the circles as they slowly fade
He fills the air with sudden laughter
As he thinks of all the plans that he made

[Bridge]
Well he's scared of the future
In need of the past
Just sitting here
Watching his hour glass

[Verse 3]
Down the street the accordions are calling
Stay away boy, there's nothing for you here
And he can hear the buildings falling
As they're stripping away all of his years

[Verse 1]
He was running like a native across the creek
Singing in the field in the wind in the sun
There he goes racing down the street
Just like a boy on the run
