Lyrics
I'm aware of the danger.
I am conscious of the risk or peril.
I think it's okay.
I believe it's acceptable or permissible.
I was never that young.
I was never very young.
I was born old and gray.
I was born with a mature or aged disposition.
Alone and in shambles,
Alone and in a state of ruin or destruction.
It's alright, it's okay.
It's fine, everything is okay.
The storm cloud has broken,
The storm cloud has dissipated or cleared.
The haze burned away.
The confusion or obscurity has vanished.
I was 23 miles from the Chesapeake Bay.
I was 23 miles away from the Chesapeake Bay.
I'd worn through my shoes, always walking away.
I had worn out my shoes, constantly moving away.
Seems like all of my troubles roll and tumble this way.
It seems like all my problems come in this direction.
The bottle has broken, the ghost has escaped.
The bottle is shattered, and the spirit has escaped.
Oh no.
An expression of dismay or concern.
I can't walk around with my feet off the ground.
I cannot walk with my feet lifted off the ground.
And when they hit, although we are strangers,
Even though we are unfamiliar to each other,
Run away, run away, run away.
Escape, run away, run away, run away.
I have.
I have done so.
I didn't talk much to strangers, I bled my friends dry.
I didn't converse much with unfamiliar people; I drained my friends emotionally.
Hard, hard livin', yet I was hardly alive.
Lived a difficult life, yet I was barely alive.
But I kept on rollin' and now I know why.
But I continued moving forward, and now I understand why.
The storm clouds have broken a hole in the sky.
The storm clouds have created an opening in the sky.
We'll get away from the shelter, get away from the storm.
We will escape from the protection, escape from the storm.
Get away from the mountains, get away from the shore.
Escape from the mountains, escape from the shore.
Get away from the hang-ups that destroy the mind.
Escape from the hindrances that damage the mind.
Get away from the darkness, get away from the light.
Escape from the darkness, escape from the light.
Oh no.
An expression of dismay or concern.
I can't walk around with my feet off the ground.
I cannot walk with my feet lifted off the ground.
And when they hit, although we are strangers,
Even though we are unfamiliar to each other,
Run away, run away, run away.
Escape, run away, run away, run away.
I have.
I have done so.
