Back to basics version of 'Running Like A River'

lyrics

Well I've been stuck in this dusty old town
Feeling six feet underground
Been looking for your face
Among people in a crowded place

Guitar on my back and a bottle in hand
Cause I dont know just where we stand
Been hoping this cold northern wind
Would blow you back into my arms again

Been running like a river since I was eighteen
Thought you'd slow me down but I just gained speed
Been praying like a sinner since I watched you leave
That you'd bring your heart on home...

Tried to call last night on a busted payphone
Where were you cause you sure weren't home
Spent my last twenty bucks on a bus ticket west
When I get there I'll finally rest

I wanna feel weightless but I can't let go
Feel you pulling me into the undertow
Waves keep crashing overhead
And I can't seem to catch my breath

The distance between is like the open sea
We used to bear the storms like an old oak tree
Could I forgive you and you forgive me
Could we ever go back to how it used to be

Been running like a river since I was eighteen
Thought you'd slow me down but I just gained speed
Been praying like a sinner since I watched you leave
That you'd bring your heart on home to me
