Running Man

Where are you going
Running man
Where have you gone
Outside, it has started snowing
Running man says …
Catch me if you can.

On one gloomy day
He quietly rose and slipped away
Only yesterday
I thought he might stay
Now he’s set out on his way
Running from town to town
Will he ever, settle down

Running man
What are you running from
Responsibility …. of a family
Or could it be, you are searching
Searching for a dream
Your own private dream
Chasing a fantasy

A fool’s Paradise
So why don’t you think twice
For ahead although looming large
Is a mirage
It’s just another empty mirage ………..

(instrumental break)

Should your legs grow weary
And the road … long and lonely
Then think of an old friend
No longer pretend
Why not come back home again

(instrumental break)

Running Man
What is your plan?
For I can’t let you go
No …. Never let go
Never let go
Never let go
No, never let go ….

Why don’t you come back again Comeback whenever you can
For you know where I be
Here, like a steadfast old tree
So come back to me
Run just as fast as you can
Oh! Running Man
Run as fast as you can ….

(instrumental outro)

Run back to me.
