I know it's late, I know you're weary I know your plans don't include me Still here we are, both of us lonely longing for shelter from all that we see Why should we worry, no one will care girl Look at the stars so far away We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow? We've got tonight babe Why don' you stay?
Deep in my soul, I've been so lonely All of my hopes, fading away I've longed for love, like everyone else does I know I'll keep searching, even after today So there it is girl, I've said it all now And here we are babe, what do you say? We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow? We've got tonight babe Why don't you stay?
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow? Let's make it last, let's find a way Turn out the light, come take my hand now We've got tonight babe Why don't you stay? Why don't you stay?
It seems like yesterday but it was long ago Janey was lovely, she was the queen of my nights There in the darkness with the radio playlng low And the secrets that we shared , the mountains that we moved Caught like a wildfire out of control Till 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 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 runnin' against the wind We were young and strong, we were runnin' against the wind
And the years rolled slowly past and I found myself alone Surrounded bv stranners 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 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 searchin' Searching for shelter again and again Against the wind a little something against the wind I found myself seeking shelter against the wind
Well those drifters days are past me now 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 runnin' against the wind Well I'm older now and still against the wind
