The days away were longer
Than I remembered
I tried to call you back in December
But the words just faded in my brain
So I never called back again
We settled for second best
Just like all of the rest
When we'd rather reach for the stars
Before falling back to earth
Whatever am I going to do
If you're not there
When I reach out to you
I'm just a man on the run
No shadows under the blue sun
Something's just can't change
Back and forth in quiet rage
I never meant to cause you pain
I left you standing in the cold rain
One of these days
When your prayers are done
Your turn will come
Hiding away fom the blue sun
Whatever am I going to do
If you're not there
When I reach out to you
I'm just a man forever on the run
No shadows under the blue sun
Something's just can't change
I never meant to cause you any pain
But I'm just a man on the run
At the mercy of the blue sun
