Straight Outta Time
Lyricist:John Hiatt
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?
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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?
