 Autumn blew it's leaves at me,
  Threatening  winter as  I walked,
  Summer  always goes  so quick,
  Barely  stopping like  my thoughts.
 
 Which dip and spin and change so fast,
  I have  to wonder,
  will I last?
 
 Through the windows of a train,
  I caught  reflections of a  paper cup,
  Hanging  small in a pale  blue sky,
  Never  knowing which  way's up.
 
 Above the clouds,
  What's to  be found?,
  I have  to wonder,  ooh
  will I be around?
 
 As my anger shouts, at my own self doubt,
   So a sadness creeps,  into my dreams,
   When you're scared of living,  but afraid to die,
   I get scared of giving and I  must find the faith  to beat it,
  Oh  yeh,  yeh yeh yeh.
 Chords As Intro
  (Hit  Once)
 It must be me that's rushing by,
  Time  just lingers on  the wind,
  Bristlin'  through my open  fears,
  I wonder  what it's goin'  to bring.
 As Chorus 2
 
 
 
 Run and hide, run and hide
  I  catch the sail at evening's  tide.
  Run  and hide, run and hide
  I  catch the sail at evening's  tide.
  Run  and hide, run and hide
  I  catch the sail at evening's  tide.
