Time Runs Wild

Now I can remember the dress that you wore
But I never really understood what all the tears were for
And you looked so young on that sweet, summer mornin'
And I thought that you would stay the same, the way you were before
I guess those days are over and we can never get them back

'Cause time runs wild, time runs free
Time runs wild like the child that's livin' inside of me

Now I've been around, I'm no beginner
But you're the only one who loved me, I ever gave a damn about
And I let you down and I felt like a sinner
Oh, 'cause I was young and eager to see what life was all about
Oh, now I guess we just got older, I guess we just lost track

'Cause time runs wild, time runs free
Time runs wild like the child that's livin' inside of me, hey
Time runs wild, time runs free
Time runs wild like the child that's livin' inside of me

Oh, in the dark of night, I pray, well, did I throw my youth away?
On a dream I'll never realize
So I reach out to touch a time, life was simple and you were mine
You know it took so long to realize, oh, oh, here I am
Oh, you've got to take my hand, oh yeah

Hey, time runs wild, time runs free
Time runs wild like the child that's livin' inside of me, hey
Time runs wild, time runs free
Time runs wild like the child that's livin' inside of me, yeah

Time runs wild, hey, time runs wild
No, you cannot change a thing, baby, because time runs wild, hey
Here I am, here I am, you've got to take my hand
Baby, I'm your man, oh yeah, ooh
