She Comes Running
Waylon Jennings · Six Strings Away [Bear Family] [1999]
When loneliness is knocking at my mind
Happiness is something I can't find
Pleasure seem forty miles behind
She comes running.
--- Instrumental ---
If I stand in someone else's rain
Feelin' forty million miles of pain
She know just what and who's to blame
She comes running.
--- Instrumental ---
If my dreams all turn to seas
If my flowers turn to breeze
She knows exactly what I need
She comes running.
--- Instrumental ---
On the day the world puts me down
In some empty space in the ground
I'll bet if I make a sound
She'll come running...
