Joseph Arthur - When I Was Running Out Of Time lyrics

When I was running out of time I turned it into a dream And you went drifting into my mind Things ain't the way that they seem I turn you into a dream And make it all go away You know your hair looks different when you wear it that way You've got a painted face and a body made of clay You are my super star They will fill you with big ideas They'll hang your heart in the sky I know you want to save the world How long have you been that high How long have you been that high And did you make it all go away You know your eyes look different when you look the other way You've got a cheating heart bleeding emeralds everyday You are a shooting star Things ain't the same as when we was young They hung us from shooting stars Let's tell the world we're doing fine I know how lucky we are I know how lucky we are To make it all go away You know this world is topsy-turvy in days like today We got a million souls looking for a place to stay Each one a shooting star
