Hi all,
I've just about got all the lyrics for this AWESOME song figured out. I could use some help! Would someone please post them for me? Thanks

Welcome aboard JR.


Here's the lyrics to the song:

Runaway Wind

You don't blow like the breeze you were born to be
You die down in the trees and try to hide
Will you witness the dark
All you need is a spark
A cathedral of torches to light the night

On your mark here I am
I'm your spark
Runaway wind
Run run away wind

You trade your telescope for a keyhole
Make way for the gray that's in your brown
As dreams make way for plans
See ya watch life from the stands
Come on I'll help you burn 'em to the ground

On your mark here I am
I'm your spark
Runaway wind

He sees ya like a river
Deep and silent
And he runs to you like
A shallow noisy stream
I see what you've become and try to hide it
You need someone who sees
What you were born to be

Here I am

You don't blow like the breeze
You were born to be
You don't know what to do with your life
As day returns to dark
Flame returns to spark
Come on I feel I'm blowing out tonight

I'm your spark here I am
I'm your spark here I am
I'm your spark here I am
On your mark run away wind
Watch you run
Watch you run
Watch you run

Uh Oh.... here we go again.. Just kidding

This is one of my ALL TIME FAVS.... in my top 5 easy.
its hard to believe, but we actually used to play this - sans piano..

BUT I always thought it was
"A cathedral of tortures light the night..."

Not sure what it meant.. but I was wrong.. (imagine that!)

There is one teeny correction which doesnt matter a hill of beans...

As day returns to dark
Flame returns to spark
Come on I feel I'm GOING out tonight.

I demand a poll.
Where's TTBO when I need him?

[torethatbridgeout]

lyric squabbles that really get under your skin are the teeny ones that don't amount to a hill of beans.

But in this case "GOING out tonight" has another meaning that "blowing out tonight" doesn't have

mainly because PW famously does not go out at night

[§winginparty™]

Hmmmm... didn't think of that.

But I think he just means he's going out as in "blowing out"... i.e. no more spark.

[JillRocks]

Thanks!! I too thought it was "A cathedral of tortures light the night..." lol. Thanks for the tip GtrPlyr...going there right now! ;D

"As dreams make way for plans
See ya watch life from the stands
Come on I'll help you burn 'em to the ground"

always loved these lines. god, that song is fantastic. anyone want to take a stab at just what he means when he says "runaway wind"?

i have my opinion, but i'll reserve it until later.

Read the lyrics - it's obviously a reference about passing gas - one of those that slips out before it's time. ;D

[JillRocks]

^^ LMFAO ;D

I knew one could light them, but imagine one with enough juice to light the night! I'm your spark BOOOM!

You have ruined this song for me! From now on I will laugh instead of cry.

Beat that horse, he's still kickin' but great lyrics anywho.

I aways thought that Cranberries song was called "You don't have to pull my finger"... "and let it linger". Now I can add Runaway Wind to my quiver of flatulence metaphors...

By the way... isn't this just about him obsessing about someone who is with somebody else and him offering her an escape.... if she rejects him he's just gonna blow out???
