Looking down I watch the night 

Runnin' from the sun 

Orphan stars and city lights 

Fadin' one by one 

Oh sweet memories 

I call on you now

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Two too many hearts been broke 

Along this lonely road 

Steel grey eyes can shine the lies 

Until they look like gold 

Cold city sidewalks 

Can turn your heart to stone 

The street won't defeat me 

'Cause I've got the will 

I'll survive 

I don't mind runnin' alone 

I believe that every soul 

Has a song to sing 

The spirit's locked in every man 

Waitin' for a wing 

Oh so much is wasted 

And oh so little used 

The trick of the dreamer 

Is keeping yourself 

From the blues 

And I don't mind runnin' 

Photos 

Everyone's a hero 

If you want to be 

Everyone's a prisoner 

Holdin' their own key 

Every step I take 

Every move I make 

Always one step closer 

I don't mind runnin' alone 

Laughing children echo down 

The concrete alleyways 

Oh their voices callin', callin' 

Callin' yesterday 

(can Steve come out and play) 

Oh sweet memories 

Returning to me now 

When young eyes saw clearly 

Everyone's a hero 

If you want to be 

Everyone's a prisoner 

Holdin' their own key 

Every step I take 

And every move I make 

Always one step closer 

I don't mind runnin' alone
