Bless me father I have sinned
I'm not sure where to begin
I won't name names
or where I've been
But I've been there and back again
No Hail Marys will save me
You learned to live with memories
Here slip this sinner up your sleeve
Just stay inside until I leave
I've been running always running
Never have both feet on the floor
I've been running always running
Now I'm not running anymore
The hands of time may tick no more
Let darkness fall upon this door
No waves will wash up
on this shore
I won the fight but lost the war
I've been running always running
Never had both feet on the floor
And I've been running
always running
Now I ain't running anymore
There were roses I have loved
Who've given or have given up
I pushed your patience
and my luck
It wasn't love I didn't trust
It wasn't you or me or us
You've shouldered
ifs and ands and buts
It's that way ok
I've said too much
But I've been running
always running
Never had both feet on the floor
I've been running
always running
Now I ain't running anymore
