A hot summer night

I was countin' all the starlight on your skin

Airtight

Is I watched you breathin' out an' breathin' in By the lake

So humid that the moon was gettin' wet

For our sake

The crickets started playin' their castanets Like a gypsy

You stole me from a child into a man

It never hit me

I've been runnin' ever since I took a stand And this love

Like a Spanish moss hangin from the trees

And just swayin' in the breeze

Like a sweet memory Runnin' straight outta time

Straight outta time

I'm runnin' straight outta time

Straight outta time

Since you were mine An 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?

Well love calls

But do we really live the time we're runnin' 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

Runnin' from the corners of my mind

Well lookin' back I find

Ah like a river it unwinds I'm runnin' straight outta time

Straight outta time

I'm runnin' straight outta time

Straight outta time I'm running straight out of time

Just like an old man's fiddle

Lookin' for the dance

Gonna meet me in the middle

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

I"m runnin' straight outta time

But my love's still real Now I see you

You're lookin' pretty in your summer dress

I can almost feel you

As you clutch your little locket to your breast Lookin' down

The picture, girl, you know you're lookin' fine

Is it me?

Was I ever in your heart or on your mind? Cause I'm runnin' outta time

I'm runnin' straight outta time

Were you ever mine?
