lyrics

I'm on the last stretch home/I've sown all the seeds that i can sow
I'm just waiting for the first of them to grow
And it sure don't feel romantic bein' poor anymore/yeah it sure don't feel romantic bein poor anymore

And I pour myself into the night/and the night will spill herself back into me
And I don't have to explain myself she understands me/yeah she understands me perfectly
And it sure don't feel romantic bein' poor anymore/yeah it sure don't feel romantic bein' poor anymore

I know and you know, that's not real
I know and you know,
doesn't change how I, (x3) Feel

and I keep crashing up against this wall
Oh the wall that separates me from you
and I really wanna tell you but it's not the thing to do
yeah I think you're better off without a clue

And it sure don't feel romantic bein' poor anymore
yeah it sure don't feel romantic bein' poor anymore

But I'd rather not be shy/rather say what's exactly on my mind
cos there's a poverty keeps hangin round and I just can't get by
poverty he comes a knocking/when you say goodbye

Will you come a running down this road/will you come a'running down with me
Oh I'm so sick and tired of running down this road/ no I'd rather stay back here
Will you come a'running down this road/will you come a'running down with me
Oh I'm much too old to be running down this road/no I'd rather stay back here
Will you come a'running down this road/will you come a'running down with me
Oh I've been down/too many times before and it's time that i was free
yes it's time that I was free/yes it's time that I..
