Runaway Raindrop Lyrics - Snowflake Midnight - Mercury Rev

Runaway Raindrop 

Why so many tears 

There's nothing left to hold you now 

And you know you can't stay here 

To earth you will fall soon 

And from earth you will rise 

With 'No' in your mouth now 

But there's 'Yes' in your eyes 

The cloudbursts are behind you 

And a long fall ahead alone 

Oh Runaway Raindrop 

You have to go home 

Sometimes just for a moment, we are what we are 

A bag full of second chances, overflowed and spilling out 

Down, over and around the original burying ground 

Where everyone gets even and everything is as clear as can be 

Unending, unalone, into it you come and out of it you'll go 

No more running, no more becoming 

It takes a flake to know one and here you are 

On the edge of yourself and ready to leap 

Built to last only as long as snow upon the sea 

Say what you will 

Say it's all a dream 

But if you stay where you are now 

You may never leave 

It's time to surrender 

It's time to awake 

Waiting is for buzzards 

Wolves never wait 

A wolf never waits... 

The closer you look 

The farther it looks away 

You're moving on now 

And they're here to stay
