Runner - Nahko and Medicine For The People

I am a runner

Running from nothing

All things behind me

And all good things ahead

I am another kind of lover

Follow them dragonflies and lead me to the

Sunrise in the morning

Tides in the evening

Lay me down, yeah, lay me down

And teach me one of them harder lessons

Lay me down

Yeah, lay me down

And kiss me softly, kiss me softly

And all of them places that you know me best

Whoa-oh-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh-oh, yeah

Whoa-oh-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh-oh, yeah

I can be loyal, return the honor

And I’ll put my family first

But you must earn your keep

This love has no strings

No leash, no clipped wings

Stronger than most things

It is noble by nature

I want no promises

Just some logged hours

Lay me down, oh lay me down

And maybe an open mind will open mine

Oh lay me down, lay me down

Kiss me softly, kiss me softly

And all of them places that you know me best

Return, return, return

To all them places that you learn

Return, return, return

All them places that you learn

Whoa-oh-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh-oh, yeah

Whoa-oh-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh-oh, yeah

Kiss me softly, kiss me softly

And all of them places that you know me best

Yeah

Kiss me softly, kiss me softly

And all of them places that you know me best

Yeah

From the Waipio Valley

Peakin' on Tetons

Follow the Klamath

To the basin of my soul

Shinin' on shasta

Those holy headwaters

Dear old Columbia

Your gorgeous sparkling eyes

Creators callin', she’s got my number

Lay me down, lay me down

And where be my outlaws?

Well, rest in reason

Lay me down, yeah lay me down

Cause old things never die

You know as well as I

We will return, we will return
