 Hot summer night, I was counting all the starlight on your skin

 Airtight, as I watched you breathing out, I'm breathing in

 By the lake, so humid that the moon was getting wet

 For our sake the crickets started playing their castonets

 Like a gypsy, you stole me from a child into a man

 It never hit me: I've been running ever since I took a stand

 Just swaying in the breeze like a sweet memory

 Running straight outta time, straight outta time (x2)

 Since you were mine

That autumn chill sent a shiver, girl, it shook us to the bone

And we still had February frozen on the phone

Spring thaw, would it find us with our lips frozen blue?

Love calls, but do we really live the time we're running through?

Or like a dream, do we let it die and drift away to sleep

Until it screams like an echo in the history books you keep

'Cause that stream running from the corners of my mind

Looking back I find like a river it unwinds

Running straight outta time, straight outta time (x2)

 Running straight outta time just like an old man's fiddle

 Looking for the dance; gonna meet me in the middle

 I'm never gonna figure out the way that I feel -

 Running straight outta time, but my love's still real

 Now I see you- you're looking pretty in your summer dress

 I can almost feel you as you clutch your little locket to your breast

 Looking down at the picture, girl, you know you're looking fine

 Is it me? Was I ever in your heart or on your mind?

 Cause I'm running outta time

 I'm running straight outta time

Were you ever mine?
