The Runway

(album: Move Along - 1972)

I've been a brother to sorrow
I've been surrounded by gloom
'Cause this hotel's got hot & cold running
Heartache in every room
Checking out of here in the morning
Even that will be too much time
I'm gonna get up on a big white bird
Waiting after you with a line

Oh the runway is the one way to get back to you
Oh the runway is the one way to get back to you
If I have to beg, steal or borrow
I'll be seeing you, girl, tomorrow
Oh the runway is the one way to get back to you

TV's gonna get to me
Haven't heard a bit of good news
Who needs that when I'm sitting here chewing
I'm going strutting in blues
I threw 'way to wake me at 7
Don't you wait a minute too long
I'm gonna leave with a one-way ticket
Going back to where I belong
