INDIGO GIRLS - running from the cold lyrics

rate me

i took off last night with my coat and my intention

to make connections with the eyes that left me blind

left my love for the strength of that white, white line

i left one more time i could have heard "i love you"

one more time i could have heard "i care"

one more time when i needed that emotion

one more time i wasn't even there

through the darkness and the distance

lie champagne and smoky smiles

bounded by the sorrow having lost love to the miles

i feel you

you're not a stranger to this white, white line

i watched your eyes chose words so slowly

illusions to my view

but i laugh and say it's highway 75 that draws me here

it's not me and it's not you

there was one more time when i should have said "i love you"

one more time when i should have told you "i care"

when we sit here in silence

and we miss the ones we love that can't be here

it's the love we leave behind

i tried to lose this restless spirit in a mission of regrets

but i can't survive without this war

and your eyes reflect the visions that i can't forget

i find balance on a darkened highway

i find truth by the side of the road

and someone else's tune to lift me high above the line

that leaves me running from the cold

running from the cold

running from the cold
