Bless me father I have sinned,
I´m not sure where to begin.
I won´t name names or where I´ve been,
But I´ve been there and back again.

No Hail Mary´s will save me,
You learned to live with memories,
Here, slip this sinner up your sleeve,
Just stay inside until I leave.

I´ve been running, always running
Never have both feet on the floor.
I´ve been running, always running,
Now I´m not running any more...

The hands of time may tick no more
Let darkness fall upon this door
No waves will wash up on this shore
I won the fight but lost the war.

I´ve been running, always running
Never had both feet on the floor
And I´ve been running, always running
Now I ain´t running anymore.

There were roses I have loved
Who´ve given or have given up
I pushed your patience and my luck
It wasn´t love I didn´t trust
It wasn´t you, or me, or us
You´ve shouldered if´s, and and´s, and but´s
It´s that way OK, I´ve said too much
But I´ve been running, always running
Never had both feet on the floor
I´ve been running, always running
Now I ain´t running anymore.
