One more early morning 
One more late afternoon 
Once more you're out in the wind 
And once more you come in too soon 

It's a long road, oh man 
And it's a hard road 
You wanna make sure to make all the friends that you can make 
You ain't worth much more to them 
Than the worth of what you give 
And the worth of what you take 

In this old ritual of compassion 
Well, you just fail and fall behind 
Now you're running 
Seems to be running 
You're running out of time 

You know it ain't love 
No, you know it ain't love 
Unless it's eating you alive 
When you're in your bed at night 

No, you know it ain't love 
You know there can't be no love 
Unless it comes howlin' out of you 
Then you know the time is right 

Ah you wait so long 
And now you don't know 
Now you don't know what to do 
Except to pray for your love 
To come returning on back to you 

You dry out with all of this bitterness and fear 
And with every passing year 
Nothing's really real to you 
Except this pain that you feel 

You will come to realize 
That you had your day 
Someday oh so long ago 
When somebody came a-calling at your door 
And you pretend that you were not home 

Now you're running 
You're running 
You're running out of time
