Linda Ronstadt

(John Hiatt)
Could have been the kiss of my life
Could have been the death of me
Coulda been that I was just too scared
To wait around and see
You coulda been a guardian angel
I coulda been the wicked one
Besides the buttons on our shirts
What else did we leave undone
When we ran
When we ran
When we ran
Was it just the time slipping through our hands
Right through our hands
Maybe I was trying to tell you
Ive never known a love so strong
Maybe in the shadows of the night
We just couldnt tell right from wrong
Maybe its a real life story
Living with a sad regret
Maybe you were just a sweet dream baby
Something that Ill never forget
When we ran
When we ran
When we ran
Was it just the time slipping through our hands
You only had to say the words
I would have turned around and heard
But as it is we cant look back
The mind is just a loose cannon baby
And the memories are rolling dice
We found something one time baby
But we thought about it twice
And we ran
And we ran
And we ran
And we ran
And we ran
And we ran
[ When We Ran Lyrics ]
