When I saw the break of day  
I wished that I could fly away  
Instead of kneeling in the sand  
Catching teardrops in my hand

But I'll be a bag of bones  
Driving down the road alone

STANZA 4   
Something has to make you run  
I don't know why I didn't come  
I feel as empty as a drum  
      
I don't why I didn't come (3x and fade)
