Soberly and sombrely
Echoing from somewhere… I forget
No more melancholy
Never find its way back to me again

Soberly and sombrely
I will find it somewhere else
Always running away
My destination would be somewhere far away

Feathers floating on the wind of days gone by
Always running, never stop for breath or air or sleep
Days lived in the rain will never come again
But still I’ll keep on running
Still I’ll keep on running

Soberly and sombrely
Looking for something new
Something’s chasing me
And so I’ll always run and you will never catch me

Hopeful faces see me passing off somewhere
Always running, never stop for food or shelter there
Days lived in the sun will never come again
But still I’ll keep on running
Still I’ll keep on running
