Little Lighthouse
solo album, "Color Me Grey." It was probably written around 1984-6.
Fallin' Star
It's like an ocean tide
Slowly washing my shores away
It's like the sun above
Now, sooner or later, I'll have to face that way
Now she asks me how you're doing
And I tell her you're getting by
But it's pain and numbness
Side by side
You came on the scene
Like a star in the Northern night
She spread her love to you
Like the warmth of a Southern sky
And so it goes on
You know it'
I'm Not Running Anymore
Written by: John Mellencamp
Holly told me, "You better give me a child"
I said, "Holly, there's no way
We don't even like each other all that much
We couldn't make it one more day"
She said, "You better look out, buster
The next time you see me you're gonna pay"
I said, "Holly, I'm not running anymore
But I'm on my way"
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
But I'm not running anymore
Well I got two circus clowns here who like to fight
They got one black eye and a bloody nose
They are the hoodlums of my third wife
Whatever I say they will oppose
I try to teach those clowns something
Like how to make it day to day
I say, "Hey, you kids, I'm not running anymore
But I'm on my way"
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
And I'm not running anymore
Well I look in the mirror - what the hell happened to me?
Whatever I had has gone away
I'm not the young kid that I used to be
So I push the hair back out of my face
That's O.K., I knew this would happen
But I was hopin' not today
Hey Baby, I'm not running anymore
But I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
And I'm not running anymore
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
And I'm not running anymore
For sure!
