One of the earliest songs performed by the Outside Edge and a regular in our live shows right until the last show played by Beyond the Edge.
Lyrics
Chorus
You don’t have to see me in the morning
To know where I come from
You don’t have to read the pages
To understand what’s going on
I’m a runner, I’m a runner of the dawn.
Verse
Open your eyes and take a long look
See the faces smile,
A grin to take the pain they mistook.
Remember when there were days of love?
Remember when we said enough was enough?
Chorus
You don’t have to see me in the morning
To know where I come from
You don’t have to read the pages
To understand what’s going on
I’m a runner, I’m a runner of the dawn.
Verse
Listen to the voices when they tell you what you need to know
Tongues coil round stories as the recount them
Blow by blow.
Remember when, peace fought to stop war?
Remember when, everyone was who was cared for?
Chorus
You don’t have to see me in the morning
To know where I come from
You don’t have to read the pages
To understand what’s going on
I’m a runner, I’m a runner of the dawn.
