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 Mary's 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 any more... 

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 if's, and and's, and but's 

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.
