Running Back Lyrics - Singles - Van Der Graaf Generator

I thought I'd give it up for good, 

'cause none of my actions are understood. 

I thought I'd really leave, 

and my coming back's something you'd never perceive. 

I thought I'd make it; 

Yes, I really thought I'd make it, 

but then you smiled, you didn't rile me, 

now I'm running back 

running, running back. 

I saw a vision of a love long deceased 

and a chilly wind coming from East. 

I know I can say I did my best, 

but there were no more warm winds from the West. 

Still I thought I'd make it; 

Yes, I really thought I'd make it, 

but then you smiled, you didn't rile me, 

now I'm running back 

running, running back. 

I thought you'd never be missed, 

and I really believed we'd never share another kiss. 

And I thought for the last time I'd touched your hand, 

but your love draws me back like quicksand. 

Still I thought I'd make it; 

Yes, I really thought I'd make it, 

but then you smiled, you didn't rile me, 

now I'm running back 

running, running back. 

And now I'm coming yes home. 

I'm coming home.
