Songtext Against the wind Jack Savoretti

Against the wind

Seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
There in ? darkness with the radio playing low

And the secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
'Til there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove

And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
And I remember how she held me, oh so tight
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

Against the wind
We were running against the wind
We were young and strong
We were running against the wind

The years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home

And I guess I lost my way
There were, oh, so many roads
And I was living to run and running to live
Never worried about paying or even how much I owed

Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searching
Searching for shelter again and again

Against the wind
A little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter against the wind, hey

Well, those drifter days are past me now
And I've got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out

Against the wind
I'm still running against the wind
I'm older now but still running against the wind
Well, I'm older now but still running
Against the wind

Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
I'm still running

Against the wind
I'm still running
Against the wind
Against the wind.
