There was no one nothing to see The night is useless and so are we Cause everybody knows The fabric of folly is fallen apart at the seams And I've been lookin' for a good time But the pleasures are seldom and few There's no whiskey there's no wine Just

Not alone not alone not alone But the stars in the sky look like home, take me home Was lonely then like an alien And the light in your eyes lets me know I'm not alone There was a time I was one of a kind Lost in the world out of me myself and I I tried

Thought I'd been touched Thought I'd been kissed Thought I'd been loved But it was nothing, nothing like this There's nothing in my life I'd say I regret But there's something in your eyes that makes me forget The times that I believed that love was good

Ev'ry time we say goodbye When you're near There's such an air of spring about it I can hear a lark somewhere Begin to sing about it There's no love song finer But how strange the change From major to minor I die a little

Against the wind CHORUS (ALL): We were running against the wind It seems like yesterday, but it was a long time ago She was lovely, she was the queen of my nights There in the darkness with the radio, playin' low The secrets that we shared, the mountains

I don't care! I don't care! It's been an awful long time since I been home, But you won't catch me goin' back down there alone. Things they said when I was young are quite enough to get me hung. They came and took my dad away to serve some time, But it

Am I blue, ah am I blue Ain't these tears in these eyes telling you You'll be too I said if this plans with your man Done fell through Oh there was a time When I was, when I was he's only one But look at me and see now

Do you remember? We never talked about it But I hear the blame was mine I'd call you up to say I'm sorry But I wouldn't want to waste your time Cause I love you, but I can't take any more There's a look I can't describe in your eyes If we could try, like

Don't act like you was there when you wasn't I know they say you crawl 'fore your walk But in my mind I already jog If I stand still I cannot get far They want the Moon, I'm on Mars Sometime my mind dives deep When I'm runnin' I don't want no free ride
