The Longer I Run - Peter Bradley Adams

When my blood runs warm with the warm red wine

I missed the life that I left behind

And when I hear the sound of the black bird’s cry

I know I left in the nick of time

Well this road I’m on is gonna turn to sand

And leave me lost in a far off land

So let me ride the wind till I don’t look back

And forget the life that I almost had.

If I wander till I die

May I know whose hand I’m in If my home I’ll never find

And let me live again

The longer I run then the less that I find

Selling my soul for a nickel and dime

Breaking my heart to keep singing these rhymes

And losing again

The longer I run then the less that I find

Selling my soul for a nickel and dime

Breaking my heart to keep singing these rhymes

And losing again

Tell my brother please not to look for me I ain’t the man that I used to be Cause if my savior comes could you let him know

I’ve gone away forward to save my soul.

If I wander till I die

May I know whose hand I’m in If my home I’ll never find

And let me live again

The longer I run then the less that I find

Selling my soul for a nickel and dime

Breaking my heart to keep singing these rhymes

And losing again

The longer I run then the less that I find

Selling my soul for a nickel and dime

Breaking my heart to keep singing these rhymes

And losing again
