"Running Downhill" is a song about looking back on the freedom of youth with a sort of heavy-hearted fondness.
lyrics
We moved like shadows under streetlights on a summer night. Breaking off into the hedgerows and vanishing from sight.
I’ve lived here all my life. I’ve lived here all my life.
We’d run like thieves beyond the whistling hydro-lines. White water biting at our ankles at the riverside.
I’ve lived here all my life. I’ve lived here all my life.
When I close my eyes.
We’re still running downhill, and gathering speed, and for a moment there it felt like we could fly, then we tumbled down head over feet.
And when I close my eyes, you’re still looking back at me.
This city feels like a bustling tomb sometimes, corridors of empty storefront window lights.
I’ve lived here all my life. I’ve lived here all my life.
When I close my eyes.
We’re still running downhill, and gathering speed, and for a moment there it felt like we could fly, then we tumbled down head over feet. We’re still running downhill, and gathering speed, and for a moment there it felt like we could fly, then we tumbled down head over feet.
And when I close my eyes, you’re still looking back at me. And this furlough from love, was all just a terrible dream. And when I close my eyes.
We’re still running downhill, and gathering speed, and for a moment there it felt like we could fly, then we tumbled down head over feet.
And when open my eyes, you’ll be looking back at me.
Just found this by chance in the "if you like David Stone... section" - It's a beautifully warm record, clean and smooth, but without being polished to a shine. Perfect walking-in-Autumn record. David Stone
