danny - ye vagabonds lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
on your marks, get ready
our toes against the line
when the whistle blew, i knew that i’d been left behind
i hammered on the tarmac
my face was turning red
there was no catching danny, he was half a mile ahead

[pre*chorus 1]
i wished i could be like him
burning brighter than the rest
i had no idea how he’d learned to move so fast

[chorus]
he ran like he could feel
something snapping at the heels
of his worn*out shoes
too fast to follow
too hot to hold
too good to lose

[verse 2]
at sixteen, he dropped out
soon aftеr, he left home
if hе couldn’t make them happy, he’d be better off alone
had ways to make some money
dealing on the sly
could have talked him out of it, i never even tried
[pre*chorus 2]
no fear of repercussions
he’d only crack a grin
he’d outrun his shadow before they’d catch up with him

[chorus]
he ran like he could feel
something snapping at the heels
of his worn*out shoes
too fast to follow
too hot to hold
too good to lose

[verse 3]
the last time i saw danny
was at a lock*in late one night
smoking in a corner, his face and shoulders tight
his girlfriend left the needle
sometime back in july
you could see that she was fading by the shadows round his eyes

[pre*chorus 3]
it was strange to hear him talk
until his cheeks were wet
did he already know it was the last chance he might get?
and later that same year
in the early winter time
danny broke the record when he crossed the finish line
[chorus]
he ran like he could feel
something snapping at the heels
of his worn*out shoes
too fast to follow
too hot to hold
too good to lose
