Letra de Night Runner

Sidewalk princesses trade their worth In gloss and glitter, hollow mirth (All your life) waiting for a father's voice But echoes don't make noise They never read between your lines The tremble in your cheap wine eyes That hurricane behind your stare Too loud for them to bear Oh, night runner! (Daddy's lessons came too late) Streetlight confessions! (Now you race against your fate) Oh, night runner! (All the words he couldn't say) Burn in broadway's glow! (And run the pain away) I see you working graveyard charms A different script for different arms Your childhood frames watch from the wall Silent judges of your fall They never read between your lines The tremble in your cheap wine eyes That hurricane behind your stare Too loud for them to bear Oh, night runner! (Daddy's lessons came too late) Streetlight confessions! (Now you race against your fate) Oh, night runner! (All the words he couldn't say) Burn in broadway's glow! (And run the pain away) She loved the way the signs would bleed (Pink and gold on broken dreams) That love she chased was just the light (Not the hand to hold you tight) Oh, night runner! (Daddy's girl grew up too fast) Paved with good intentions! (Footsteps echo from the past) Oh, night runner! (All the words dissolved in rain) Somewhere in the shadows— (Does he call out your name?)
