Back in the day
When we were children
We'd run and roll and skip all day
Every second filled with laughter
Seein' the sunshine, makin' hay

Now the skies are clouding over
Things are darkening the way
What was silver-lined and mellow
Looks a little mistier and grey

There is no flower without the rain
There is no joy without the pain
There is no tide without the moon
There's no meaning without you

Looking back will get us nowhere
Tomorrow is our constant friend
And it will always be there
It will lead us to the end

Won't let the world lead us astray
Can't hold onto yesterday
See our future's just begun
There's place we can run

But there is no cure
For the restless heart
There is no distance
Keeping us apart
There's long forgotten lands
There's islands in the sun
There's places we can run
Mmm, mmm, mmm

Before the day is done
There's places we can run
Times when you are far from me
Become a tragedy
I just can't find the way
From the moment I awake
Till the closing of the day

Darling, what else can I do
Than wait a lifetime here for you
Till you run into my arms
Before the day is done
There places we can run

Take the short way home
Don't leave me all alone
There's places we can run
